I have got a 68 AC barracuda heater box and hoses I want to use in my 67 barracuda. As far as the controls, I have Chrysler 300 dash I am putting in the car that has what appears to be the same controls that were on AC dash I had for a barracuda (barracuda dash was in poor shape - parts only) Has anyone done an AC conversion? From what I found so far, I need to make bigger hole for the blower motor and additional hole for the AC lines. Let me know if this is fairly easy if you have done in past or if I am tackling a major job and what I might be missing please. I am trying to make a driver that I could use on many trips and AC would be very nice addition.

Thank you in advance for any assistance and information you may be able to lend.
 
I switched mine from non ac to ac . I have a piece of the ac firewall that I had used as a template to get the holes in the correct position. A few other members have used it also. If you would pay the shipping charges I would be happy to send it to you. Just ask that you return it when you are done.

I can't say how a non-AC firewall compares to an AC firewall in a 67-up but do know on my 65 Dart, the firewalls were different enough that I decided to remove most of the non-AC firewall and swap in an early A AC firewall.

I'd like to see the pictures of the Chrysler dash or instrument cluster swap when you get to that point.

Thanks I may have alternate suggestion (guy selling section) depending on where he is located and you are located, I will see what makes most sense. Thanks again I will get back to you once I find out how much shipping is, may elect to just buy section and use as template. I will take picture of the dash once I put cluster back in. Thanks again for another great Idea regardless.
