Matt,
Probably a Hot Rod specialist can hook you up some way but I think you'd
have severe cooling problems with the stock rad as the condensor goes in
front of the rad and it blocks a lot of flow and adds a lot of heat.
Additionally a lot of weight would be added where you don't really want it -
in the nose.
I had an estimate for a 240 and they wanted about $1500 and that car came
with a/c as an option. They'd have to do a lot of cutting of the firewall to
fit in the pipes and under the dash also and a more powerful fan and a
bigger alt and . . .
Want a/c in a sports car? Buy a Miata :)
Mike
