Bruce,
The A/C kit is fairly rare and I see very few TRs that have the kit. It is
even more rare for the kit to actually be operational. Parts are generally
unavailable from the original supplier but many of the components were "off
the shelf" items that can be found at many auto parts store.
I installed the a/c kits on 2 cars this last year and I've included my
findings (including part numbers, etc.) on our web site. Hope this helps.
No modifications were required to the carbs/intake manifold on either car.
One car was running the stock Strombergs and my car uses the downdraft
webers.
