addding air conditioning
 
I just bought a 1981 RX-7 GSL with 44/m miles and in really good shape. Has the AC button on the dash but nothing related to AC in the engine bay except a extra pulley on the engine with no belt. I sounds like cars with no ac but pulleys and a dash button for AC were imported but the AC was never added. Am I reading this right? We are in the south and AC would be great. I have been told finding a donor car would be the best way so all the parts and configuration is there. Any recommendations?

welcome to the board. :)

what you're thinking can be done. in the event that you do not find one car to donate all the parts at once, then i don't know how much time it would take to track down all the bits you will need.

personally, i would just enjoy the car as is. as long as he windows work; also, you have a sunroof. the only thing that can spoil the fun is rain.

thanks for the feed back. I have some feelers out but it may be a long time before a donor shows up. You are right however, I am really enjoying driving it as is. Lots of memories as I had a RX-2 in college. Missed that little rotary.
