Re: [AMC-list] 1969 AMX Air Conditioner

["Armand Eshleman" <aje1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Matt is correct, the airbox is easy to take apart.
Take some photos of it before you begin, to help put it back together.
Oh yeah and don't forget you will need to make a hole in the driveshaft
tunnel for the A/C drain tube. Moisture condenses on the evaporator coil and
collects in the bottom of the box and drains out that rubber tube in the
bottom of the box. You did get the tube with the air box correct?
