TOO COLD A/C, was: black 73 coupe on ebay

I'm using R12 (only because I have a Camaro that is headed to the scrap 
heap and it happen to have enough R12 in it to charge up the Imp).

The system sure does get cold enough! It gives me confidence that if I ever 
have to switch to R134, the performance will still be acceptable.

The problem is that when I hot wired the A/C electrical in order to bypass 
the missing AutoTemp II controller the easiest way to do this was to enable 
a single fan speed. Since I live in Phoenix, (we're expecting a high of 
110* today) I of course used high as the speed of choice.

It's great for the first ten or fifteen minutes while the car cools down 
inside, but after that I'm freezing my jewels off! I either need to get the 
ATCII controller working, or find a manual A/C dash control and replace the 
AutoTemp II controller like Kerry did.

I guess another option is to install a temp controlled switch that will 
cycle the compressor when the blowing air reaches a certain temp. This 
would tide me over 'till I can either get my crusty old ATCII controller to 
work, or find another in working condition.
