"Will she be happy w/o AC? It looks like now is the time to buy those cars because the market is way down."
Does the vintage air setup seem like a bad idea? about 1200 bucks right? or could I just cannibalize the A/C stuff from my 74 rr project car?
As far as cannibalizing your 74 rr project car you would need to make sure that the cowl on the car you buy is the same as an AC cowl. The A-bodies have different cowls for AC and Non AC cars. I would likely go with Vintage Air just to have a new system. Price wise I have no idea what a system would run.
