Electric A/C in a 1966 Porsche 911 SWB

A customer asks:

My car is a 1966 911 SWB. There's no fan lever on the dashboard, but where will I be able to adjust the airflow?

Jonny's answer:

The ’66 SWB will require some modification for installation but it has been done before. Have a look at this news item:

For a short-wheelbase 911, the main points are as follows:

1) The cowl stay must be removed

2) The area under the hood inlet needs to be modified to work with the blower inlet

3) Holes are required in the bulkhead to let air in and out of the car

4) a switch is needed to operate the fan

5) Vents are required (suggest under the dash and clock position)
