Default Re: even another COPO on ebay!

They were incompatible options, GM did not like to install AC on solid lifter cars. They did on the 365 horse 64 and 65 Corvette and again with the 72 LT1 engine. The LT1 had a reduced red line to prevent damage to the AC compressor.
A high reving big block would tear one of these compressors up.
