Daniel bought an ebay-find 1963-64 under dash unit for his Monterey.  Also have the condenser and dryer units.

has anyone ever resurrected an item like this? if so, can it be done successfully?

He' stuck on staying as authentic as possible and being in Houston for the summer months and Abilene for the school year, he really could use a working A/C.

The fan motor works fine in the under dash component... I know the dryer will have to be replaced or recharged and he still needs a compressor and mounting bracket...

just wondering if our attempts at returning this to working condition are worth it.
if this can be successfully done, I may try to do the same for my 57 Fairlane, after all, I'm in Houston year 'round!
thanks,Mark
