Smile AC System Clogged

In the process of restoring my 79 Bird, I replaced the AC system with new parts and retrofitted to R 134a. It blew ice cold.

But it didn't blow as hard as it should have. I tried to find the problem. My AC ducts were clear. The fan switch worked right. I blew out the cowl ducts. Still no solution.

So, I bit the bullet and dropped the blower motor (under the dash). Eureka. The evaporator core was chock full of insulation (from the fire blanket) and leaves. Once removed, the system blew hard.

Now, it's ready for a Florida summer or an interested buyer!
