This convert has had A/C since 79 in many different forms. It originaly had the piston pump, and then in the mid-90's it was converted to a rotary pump with a bigger blower up front etc. This, of course, was on the original Type 1 engine. I started putting a FAT cooled T4 into the car, but this vector stopped when I bought Alex's engine kit early this year. I just got the Klaus shroud and engine case on Friday and will be designing a mount system for a rotary compressor using this shroud soon. I had to force a shop stoppage on the convertible to finish the Manx project. Hopefully it will roll out in the next two weeks and then back onto the convert. There are some other issues now on mounts such as does it carry the airconditioning compressor on the passenger side and the Eaton compressor on the drivers side...

We can build up the mounts in house. I usually am not a fan of most things that are offered as kits. I prefer to wait until I can do it right the first time.
So that usually takes alot more time(and money). I will keep you posted on the compressor mounts...

Thanks,

Randy
