I was going to list that but I'm pretty sure that it was only an option on
all of the Jap, US & RSA spec cars as it is in the Deluxe and GL section of
the parts book. I used the a/cond out of the RSA SSS in my Aussie (all the
holes are there) but it's not worth a cracker these days, looked pretty
daggy as it had lots of imitation chrome on plastic that flaked. Also, when
I was quoted ~$900 to convert it to R134a the last time I had my L engine
out it got pulled and it's gone to the tip in the last clean up, plus it
wasn't going to hook up with the FJ too well when it eventually gets fitted
into the '70 streeter, so it's back to 4 x 100 a/cond.
regards
Terry
