[T3] Air Conditioning

[Graham Thomas]

Coming out of lurk mode (Sold my car in 1995... ) 

My '69 Squareback originally had A/C, but it had been removed by the
previous owner. There was a hole in the front bulkhead, holes in the fan
shroud, and visibly, holes in the front fenders:

During the time I owned the car I only saw one other pre-facelift Type 3
with grills in the fenders like that. I guess there was once a condenser
hiding behind one of them.

What Jim said, AND, you'll have to have all new hoses made and convert it
over to R134

If you're trying to replace one that's broken, try thesamba.com, but I
really can't recommend installing these on our cars. It's too hard on the
engine, makes future service under the dash impossible, and requires cutting
holes in the body that are better left intact.

The AC was never a factory item and was always aftermarket and dealer
installed. I hate to see cars cut up to install it.
