I took the after market unit from 73 or so and used the inside the car
parts, the motor mount and pulley adapter and through the rest away fitting
a modern compressor, condensing unit and filter dryer. The 69 6 and a 250
are so similar you should be able to do that too. It looks original in the
car, but totally modern under the hood. There are some pictures on my web
site. Its every bit as hot in Atlanta and ain't no way I am driving in
August without AC.

Subject: Air conditioner for TR250?
Question:
I live in Southern Kentucky, where the summers are unbearably hot and humid.
I
am in the middle of getting my car back together, and was wondering if there
is
anyone that has retrofitted an A/C to their car with one from a current car
(like a Miata/Corolla/Neon)? I ask because I'm sure that A/Cs from TR6/7/8
are
probably hard to get a hold of, therefore expensive, and even then, old, so
in
need of lots of TLC. Go ahead, call me a wuss, but I like to at least not be
a
big puddle when I get home from work.
Thanks.
