Thanks for all of the great input! I'll address some of these one at a time. Norcam, if I was fortunate enough to live in Alberta, I don't think I'd worry about a/c either! I'll check with some local electrical guys about upgrades to my alternator. Thanks. Lynn, I'd figured 120 amp output would be ideal minimum, so you were about where I was on numbers. And I will go ahead with it, will take your advise & start a tutorial thread once my car is back in my shop. I appreciate the suggestion. BCreekDave, I hadn't thought about an extra battery, or putting condenser in trunk after allowing for circulation, intriguing idea! I've been a Mercedes-Benz master tech for a couple of decades, they use LI batteries on some of their AMG S-class cars. I know auto LI technology has progressed by exponential amounts over the last few years. Have never researched aftermarket applications for them, will definitely look into it, even the possibility of a lead-acid battery for extra capacity and to act as a buffer. L78M22Rag, it's a Rallye Green with parchment interior D80 car. JM said it had been years since he had seen such an unmolested original paint car, said the light interior was a rather uncommon in 68. He phoned owner #2 and had a long conversation about what he knew about car. There was enough rust that partial quarters, trunk floor and floorboards all required metal work. Will plan to post pics when I start the a/c fitment thread. Too Many Projects, I researched your comment about condenser location, you are spot on. It'll have to go in front of radiator, as you said. Will sort out what condenser options I have. Thanks again, guys.
