It would have been up to the customer. I remember an article with a Motion 75 or 76 Camaro where the customer opted for the 569 lo-rise intake to run the stock hood.

Did Joel ever build or do a conversion on an a/c car? I have never seen one.

Bruce,

Thanks! You are exactly right! I forgot about that one. The older I get, it seems like I forget much more than I used to remember! LOL!!

I guess to narrow down the question, does anyone know of any 2nd Gen Camaros that had a/c that were built or converted by Joel?

I saw that it had the non a/c controls and dash, but I have seen many that had the dash changed out. The reason that I asked the question was because the seller listed that the car had air conditioning under the options that the car had in the listing. Maybe he just listed it wrong. Wish he had more/better pics. Mayhe doesn't for a reason.

The classic copper/ white stripe 1973 that Dave B. had was an a/c small block car.

I believe the Gold Vette recently on Ebay was also A/C equipped.
