Classic surprises me. Great tech help.....geez. Hopefully someone who did what you are doing chimes in but I'll but in 2 more cents here. The same unit that fits mine should fit yours as the firewalls are the same. Their unit replaces the entire box so the only real difference should be the control panel which always show up on ebay for non a/c cars pretty cheap. You may need to get the blower motor cover on the firewall if the A/C cars are different. Only other thing you would have to do is make a box behind the vents to use your existing A/C vents which is actually desirable as I did it and it looks 100% better than their round dash "balls" (this only took me a couple of hrs and I am a sh***y fabricator). You can use the round receptacles (use 3 of them and cap one box outlet) by folding a piece of aluminum into a box to size that just fits in the dash and their ducting will fit right on. Bear in mind the the previous warnings I posted earlier but I can walk you through the deep grass on the issues they have. Only thing you stand to loose is the factory dash control panel for a/c but I'm willing to bet it can be made to work as they only use the blower switch , temp cable to the water valve (which they supply) and mode cable to their box (which they also supply). Their box is smaller than yours and realistically their are only 3 bolts that hold the damn thing in so it is much simpler than your existing system but only some of the benefits. In their defense it does blow decent cool air and very hot heat. If you decide to go that route I have done most of the bleeding for you but once again.....if someone else has done the A/C to A/C conversion chime in. On last note....the new system is electric and not electronic. They use a piece of crap actuator to achieve defrost and they power it in either direction all the time. It needs a separate kill switch or the gear wants to strip out over time....guess how I know this. Good luck, hope this helps.
