I just bought a 1991 sub legacy wagon L with busted tranny for parts, I was wondering if its possible to take the air conditioning and add it to my car that doesnt have it.

any tips on how i should go about to do it if possible?

Thanks
Pat

Would that car have some parts that you don't need? I'm looking for a passenger sun visor and the antenna portion of the power antenna (just the part that extends and retracts). Can you message me if they're available?

(Yes, I'm a bit of a vulture, but I don't want to pay for new parts).

Regarding your original post, I don't know for sure, but I would guess that its pretty difficult. I imagine there's quite a bit to the system.

I would have gave them to you but both sun visors are missing and the antenna isnt powered

No problem Pat! Anything in it worthwhile?

Have you heard anything about the A/C?

Is the L you bought have ABS or not? If not.....can you look on the master cylinder and see what the size is.....it should have a 1 or 1 1/16

If it has the 1 1/16 one.....can I buy it off ya?

Hahaha, everyone should know by now that you don't ever mention the words "PARTS CAR" on this forum...

That said, a front bumper and right headlight would be nice

You could put the a/c in but it is going to take some work. All of the mechanical parts need to be in good order. If you can start the car turn the a/c on and see if it blows cold air. once all the mechanical parts are in your probably going to need and additional fan, you can probably pull it off the parts car. The fans I'm refering to are the fans that draw air through the front of the car. On the electrical side your going to need to tell the car that the A/C compressor is on so it can bump the idle. Your going to need to swap out the switch you have inside the car, and figure out how to wire it up to your existing harness. Japanese are famous for pre wiring their cars for everything so you may luck out and not have to re-wire anything. Needless to say its a big undertaking, but good luck I hope it works out. oh yeah I don't need anything parts wise

Thanks Fernely for the info... I Might6 actually do it but it is not a priority right now as I have to patch up a few holes, change struts etc to get it to pass MVI

Sorry josh, Its marked 1
as for the corner lamps
I am replacing some and keeping the rest as I will probably end up needing them

I will think about the headlights

Any emblems in good condition?

Other thing I'm looking for is the clips for the center console lid. One of mine broke or just being weird.

I know you can unscrew the lid portion pretty easily, but not sure if the hinges come off that easily.
