With A/C

Evaporator/Heater Housing Assembly




WARNING: Automotive refrigerant containing CFC's is hazardous to the earths atmosphere. To protect our environment use an Underwriters Laboratory (UL) approved refrigerant recovery/recycling unit such as Kent-Moore ACR3, or equivalent, whenever discharging an A/C system.

The fresh-air blower can be reached by removing the glovebox. Virtually any other work on components of the air distribution housing, including the heater core or the A/C evaporator, requires discharging the A/C system, draining the engine coolant, and removing the instrument panel.
