Looks awesome! Amazing what a little love and a lotta elbow grease can achieve. The good thing about your A/C is you have the pulleys, tensioner and the evap unit. On Gen 2's this stuff is 'easier' to get, but good luck finding a complete evaporator that will work on a Gen 1 heater/blower. Hope your block bores are still serviceable

Thanks! It is coming along quite well. Of course the picture shows the best angle, but it all is starting to look pretty good.

At this point, the A/C will be on the back burner. The machine shop said that I am looking at a full rebuild as the ring lands were worn out in my pistons, so at the very least I will be replacing those along with all of the bearings. It just adds a little more to the bill there, but it will postpone any other costly repairs for a little while. Luckily, time is on my side, as this is an extra vehicle for me and I can take my time getting it the way I want it.
