New update - pics added 4/30/01 - I just recently finished installing the restored A/C lines and compressor. The A/C was re-filled with the correct R-12 refrigerant. The evaporator core is an NOS replacement, the A/C lines, condenser and dryer were restored and rebuilt by Classic Auto Air in Tampa, Fla.
I want to thank my wife and children whom patiently stood by me through the entire process. Without their understanding this project would have never materialized. I especially want to thank my wife for encouraging me to get back into the hobby, if not for her I'd still be attending car shows wishing I had a Chevelle. Thks Ang.
I also want to thank Team Chevelle and all its members their help and assistance has been an invaluable resource and a great psychological support group when things got tough. Thks to you all.
