I'll vote for the "oh wow" factor from a functioning OEM system Or even if it don't function for that matter, as long as all the correct parts are there. I'm surprised by the number of folks that are amazed that these cars had factory A/C to begin with.

Your Old Chrysler A/C compressor is a big obstruction when looking under the hood. The new Sanden is a smaller unit, and the 'Oh Wow' factor for others when you open the hood is not intruded on by the smaller unit. This was readily apparent at one of the Meets when someone drove their 300C from far away with the A/C system modified with a modern compressor and a Thermo-quad on it instead of the 2x4 induction. -- Paul Holmgren Mine: 2 57 300-C's in Indy Hers: 05 PT GT R/T HO Stage 1 Hoosier Corps L#6 "It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress."
