Sam, to my knowledge, no a/c on any BB Novas. Most times the car was a SB, and the BB is a transplant. I would imagine that some BB Novas received dealer installed a/c, maybe in the 'hot' states.

I too have never seen a 1968-70 BB Nova with factory A/C.
If someone here has one,I'd love to learn more about it?
I have a box of Vintage aftermarket suppliers Catalogs to Chevrolet Dealers back in the late 60's early 70's. Air Conditioning Vendors are in there,& their Flyers/Catalogs Feature the Nova with their ADDED A/C units.
Very colorful and explains prices & shows cool pix,(no Pun).

I have read that the 1967 camaro SS396 couldn't be ordered with a/c. Is this true?

No A/C on 67 big block Camaros. The BB was a mid year intro, and GM did not have the BB A/C system worked out until the 68 model year.

Mark I have seen 325 HP cars with air.....my 11B November 1966 built 396 Caprice has factory A/C on the car...I think they had a handle on how to hang it on the motor....Like I said no high horse motors but grandma could have air....

http://www.camaros.org/index.shtml click on 1967 and it calls out the block codes for A/C, but no 375HP motors.

show me some docs if I am confused????

Thnx Bud.

I think the a.i.r. codes are for the california air pump. It seems to me I have seen a 67 L35 camaro with a/c. interesting
