Hi there everyone, I am after some help in relation to fitting Air conditioning to my sapphire.
I want to fit a/c to my car but was wondering with it being a late 1991 sapphire as to whether the loom will already be there or will I need to add an extra auxiliary loom for the system to work?
If anyone has any thoughts on this can they get back to me please.

tbh i considered fitting air con and its so much hassle i didnt bother, just drive fast and open the windows not the same but close

Bulkhead is different for a/c models (bulge to accomodate the extra pipework, etc)

Can be done, and has been, but is a lot of work

I'm having a nightmare pulling mine out, let alone fitting one!

When I did this to a mk1 sierra, I had to cut a big hole in the area at the back of the heater as well, as the new "fan box" went inside the car above the heater box, as said a lot of work, but worth it if you want it bad enough.

My cossie had aircon but it didnt work. I just cut off the old aircon pipes and pulled all the wiring out. My cossie had an after market aircon system fitted to it and there is a hole in the bulk head where the old aircon motor used to sit.I would just leave it as it is and if you get hot just wind all the windows down.

Thanks everyone, you made me feel so much better about my purchase now
Not to worry though as I am sure I can sell it on on ebay.

Have you still got any of the parts from yours at all as I have decided to put it in anyway and need the thin pipe that goes into tha ac air box on the bulkhead?
