    I'm wanting to convert my Riviera to factory A/C and I am just looking for advice from anyone who has done something like this before. I have a parts car available to me to do it with so getting all the pieces together isn't the problem.

    I'd also like to know if there are any tips or mods that can make the install a lot easier or make the A/C function better. Thanks in advance.

    Most want to go the other way but I think it is easier in the older models like your. You need to find a complete donor car and have them side by side and see how everything goes together. Do not take someone elses word who says they have everything as stuff gets lost over the years and you will be scratching your head.:Dou: :Do No:

    Not that hard to do. Probably the hardest is to cut your firewall; at least if made me pee in my pants.:pray:

    It might be easier if you guys switched cars.
