Title: 68 AC, anyone got photos of under dash routing?
Post by: Oz390 on January 22, 2012, 03:38:08 AM

Attempting to install factory AC in a 68 S code GT coupe, what a &*&&(_*+_ nightmare....

Does anyone have photos of the under dash with inst cluster and glove box out showing where they routed the vacuum hoses and cable (which after trying 5 different ways was always about 2" too long, maybe the repro is made wrong?) 

The FAM is useless, as it shows routing with none of the obstacles in the way and after 3 hours today I am no closer to getting the d*^m things in... once that is done inst cluster goes on, seats go in and its pretty close to firing up for the first time...  some other cosmetics, but trying to stay motivated and finish a 6 year project as its real close...

Yes it can be a challenge. I all ready have my cluster in but here are some pictures of the RH side. There are two metal retainer on the RH side and one on the LH side to keep the hose away from the wiper arm. Marty
