I'm currently hunting down on eBay a good donor car for my vr6 into cabrio project. I quite like the idea of one with aircon and I just missed one that had digital climate control!
Does anyone know any reason it won't go in? I know its more work as i read somewhere that you need change the whole heater matrix but I figured that whilst I have it all in bits, I might as well!
Thx

Forget it to be honest, it is a right ball ache retro fitting aircon even with a doner car.
You will need the dash out to replace the complete heater assembly.
I did it on my Vectra, never again.

I kinda assumed, probably incorrectly, that once I removed the dash which I again assumed wouldn't be much hassle, it would all be in my face.
However, I do seem to remember reading an article, I think was for an Audi and thinking OMG.
If I did happen to get a donor with aircon, I guess it's just a compressor on a pulley and I can just not use it.
Lot of guessing and assumptions here, lol
-
if you get a donor car with air con and decide not to fit the air con then remove the compressor and go buy the shorter pulley.

Shorter belt needed, pulley is the same I believe.
