As Far as I know they were never factory fitted, dealers would fit at pre delivery as required the evaporator unit bolts onto your heater unit, a few ducts need to be added, probably easiest for you to find a unit remove it yourself so you know how it fits.

then simply book in for a service and regass.

 

2nd option is a under-dash unit as in my Ke55

If you have space I'd go with an underdash unit.

 

Plenty of wreckers have the front end gear, like the compressor, condensor and the hose gear, brackets etc.

 

If you hunt around you should be able to find a cool looking retro underdash unit with chrome knobs etc.

I thought some KE30 / KE55's had the proper setup in the heater box as you would expect from a factory fitment. I have seen this at Pick and Payless one of the times that I was there. It may be a bit more hunting, but it would look a lot more integrated.

Fair point! Mind you our 'mild climate' has been in the mid 30s almost every day!

 

I do feel for you guys tho, i couldn't stand anything over 40!
