reinstalling a/c on 84’ Pininfarina labor time?

[jsorvillo]

Hello all.

Just got an 84’ Pininfarina that used to have ac. I’ve done a good amount of research and am aware of the power suck that it can have on the engine…but I live in west Florida and the hot days will make it miserable to drive if I dont have some cool air coming in.
Q: Has anyone reinstalled and ac ( been looking at this one. https://www.midwest-bayless.com/p-27079 ... t-fit.aspx) and if so, do you have an amount of labor time it took? I don’t want to get hosed by the mechanic for extra Labor costs if at all possible. Thank you for any input.

I also have an 84, with completely intact air conditioning. I was told by my shop that it was pretty useless 0 it did not cool very much and was a general PIA. I do not use it - we rarely have super hot days in Chicago. I have turned it on a few times, and it did blow sort of cooler air.

Thank you for the insight….seems to be a trend visa via ac being a PIA….appreciate the response.
