nifty,i don't have power steering and i don't think it is necessary,the aircon would be nice but the console and heater box changes would be significant..john;27

i agree with jdunne,if it is c3 the cost and labour to put air (original air) woulg be heaps,power steer on the other hand would not take much.;eek

I forget who makes them know but the people who make aircon systems for HotRods are now making A/C systems for C3s. I've seen the ad somewhere,I'll see if I can find it. And Rack & Pinion with  power systems are available and work nicely!

had a look at their webpageand they make a unit for and early vette,but couldnt find an 80 unit.perhaps a holden unit or something will fit?

I've seen an under dash one from a HQ in a 79.

The hot rod boys will have something for sure!

Found one but I'm sure there's another! http://www.classicair.com/Corvette6876.asp  This one I'm not sure if its electronically run? The one I saw wasnt run by vacuum!

thanks D.R. also looking at a 77 for a bit more $ but with all the bells and whistles......thanks again.

Are you talking about RHD or LHD cars?

If LHD getting PS is easy, but can be costly depending on where you get your parts (new or used).
