auto climate control

can the acc be swapped out for the manual one? i assume its a huge project, what would be involved? ive deleted the ac for the time being but do plan on having it up and running again...thanks again....john

humm... all these years and I never noticed that it says "not atc"

guess its a place to start... ask the e-man, I'm sure theres a reason that the atc is not covered as swapable

I know you at LEAST have to change the control unit, vacuum lines, and heater box.

I wouldn't attempt it...and I attmept almost anything.
Take that at face value. ;)

ATC is very problematic by nature, and its diagnostic error codes are esoteric. After having it in the T-Bird I've vowed never to have it again if possible. The manual controls are much, much simpler and simply work better.

Well thats good...wait, NOT a good news at all...had a feeling though :(

thanks for the input guys. if it fails or i happen to find a good dash with few or no cracks maybe ill attempt to toss it. ive never seen a turbo coupe or sport around here with the buttstuffog setup.

I have two TCs with and two without.. But over all there seem to be more with the ETAC than without. Most of the Sports I've seen had the std system...

my 86 t/c didn't , seems more common to have it then without at least around here :hick:
