Pulling the aftermarket a/c
 
I am going to pull the aftermarket under-dash a/c on my 71 F100. Don't like the looks of it and I can live without it, even here in Texas (hey won't be any hotter than riding my Harley). Plus it gets in the way of somethings under the hood (like properly installing the air breather. Simpler the better in my book.
Are these likely to be components anyone would want, or once the freon has been extracted, should it all go to the trash heap.
And, am I posting too much trivial bs at the early stages of getting my '71 up and going.

Are you sure it's aftermarket A/C? There were three types of Ford A/C offered for 1968/72 F100/350's, all are "hang-on" units, bezels bolt to the bottom of the dash.

Left upper: Factory installed integral A/C is combined with the heater. The A/C controls are located in the same panel as the heater controls.

The A/C's expansion valve is mounted behind the glove box, so it has a shorter liner. There's another glove box located within the bezel.

Right: Deluxe dealer installed A/C. Two A/C switches located in the bezel that sweeps across the entire underside of the dash.

Left lower: Economy dealer installed A/C. Two A/C switches located in the bezel that mounts at the center under the dash.

I like those schematics. Makes me miss my parts manuals like I have with my Harley's.
If any of those, it would be the economy after-market, dealer installed one. It does not have Ford on it. Has some other brand name.
