AC on a Type 4 isn't the same big deal it is on a type 1. With the added power of a camper special, it can easily run AC. Head Bang

Real engines can lose a couple HP from A/C and not overheat, or need to be pushed up hill by Fred and Wilma...

Thats an old ass shroud, by the pics I'd say it's a 2002 vintage shroud.

I have a full A/C system ready to be bolted onto Beth's engine over the Winter... Just have to build the Turbo system so it doesn't foul any of the A/C goodies.. I have customers that run A/C all the time..

In the new shop these are the kind of full on upgrades we'll be able to do :-)

If you want to A/C the Bus you can do so with the stock cooling system.

Jake, I'd love to. The lines are there, plugged and uncut with the condenser intact under the bus and the evaporator/fan unit behind the sink. All I need is the compressor and mounts.
