can any one help me???
i have a 69 chevelle that at one time had factory A/C that has since removed.i have had the car for 20 years so thats the way it came when i bought it.i am now trying to put all the pieces of the puzzle back together with little info.a few months ago i bought what i thought was a heater box from a 69 SS chevelle A/C car off ebay.since then i changed the heater core,gaskets and painted the box to look like new.i was sooooooooo happy with it.
then while looking on Ebay again i found another heater box from another 69 ss chevelle A/C car.the auction has pictures of the box,from the front the non A/C and A/C heater boxes look the same.but when i took a closer look at the backside and side view pictures of this other box.they are different with the A/C heater box showing vaccum pods mounted on the side and back.plus there is a outlet on the back that is turned at a 45 degrees compared to a 90 degrees for the non A/C box.
so here my question.
can i use the one i have now for my A/C car?can i convert a non A/C heater to a A/C heater box or do i have to go out and get a A/C heater box for an A/C car?
i have enclosed some pictures so you can see what i mean.

the pics you show,both are for a/c but are different years.i will look tommarrow at my 69's and i can tell you which one it is suppose to be right.

thanks you
that will really help me out alot.

You may want to look at this one. Good pictures. It's from a 71.

the 71 olds heater box sure looks like the same one that they say is for a 69........
if thats the case should there be vacuum pods for the 69 mounted on the box also?does any one out there in team chevelle land have any pictures of there 69 A/C car?need some pictures of your 69 A/C heater box.please



thanks,

heres the link for the ebay 69 chevelle heater box i am talking about,

This one is the 69 box (http://www.chevelles.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=4949&d=1167268343).

This one is a 70 - 72 box (http://www.chevelles.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=4950&d=1167268370).

The reason why there are no vacuum actuators on the 69 is, 69s have vacuum operated plenum and recirc valves only all other control is manual/cable operated.

70-72s have vacuum operated plenum and recirc valves, vacuum operated floor/dash split and vacuum operated defrost. The temp control is manual/cable operated.

The plenum and recirc valves are not part of the A/C heat box.

that is also what i come up with,there are no vacuum pods on the 69's.

thank you guys you been a great help.............
