Thank you again, Howard. The purpose of this project isn't simply to put factory-looking A/C into my own car but rather to come up with a way to make a system that can be added to cars owned by others too or even to retrofit an existing system with modern controls. I have the factory blueprints for the complete trunk unit assembly (blowers and all) but they are actual 1:1 size and not the best quality so being able to view them is rather difficult at best!

The primary difficulty so far is that I want to use the original A/C harness so I need to know what goes where in the system in order to plan that. The dash control would have to have a microprocessor and so would the trunk unit which would allow the control through only a single wire and the plan is to make it work in either 6V or 12V. The compressor clutch voltage requirement isn't important right now.
