Will have lots of questions about which pulleys to finish it off, and where to get them.

If I had it to do over again, I'd buy a used complete GM system, or just go without aircon. The heater in this unit puts out about 50% of what the Chevy core did, and the defrost is particularly weak. Also, all the plastic parts are really flimsy.

I wouldn't recommend it.
Must be something wrong then...I have this system in my 71 and the heater will burn you out of the truck. It was 29 here this am and only had to turn the fan on low!
