It would have been an underdash unit, totally self contained. All controls on the unit.
Basically what the ad says is it -had- A/C but had been removed.
Or it never had A/C since none of the system is there... so how could anyone tell?

You can tell it had A/C because you can still see the mounting bracket for the compressor, and you can see the condenser in front of the radiator.

Good point Ed. I should have scrolled down more. I see the drier also. "Never mind" as Emily Litella would say. I see the pad for the York.

Except it appears to only have a 2 belt pulley on the fan, and none of the pictures seem to show holes for the hoses to pass through (I had a '66 with the underdash unit still installed).

So there is a mount for *something* (I'd have a compressor there, but not for A/C if I had the opportunity).
I missed that it still had the condenser.

Still though, to say it has it, but the main parts are missing... isn't that the same as saying it doesn't have A/C?
One would have to replace the components left on the truck (I see a small cylinder affixed to the overflow tank as well) since they are compromised by the atmosphere?

It seems dishonest to claim it has A/C then say it doesn't.

Of course it has been pointed out that he doesn't even seem to know what motor it has or anything else.

I tried to go to the website with all the pictures, but another site to sign up for?

Survivor, yes. Nicest in the country, no. I would love to buy a truck with dealer added air that is missing all of its' components.
There was a Chevy Sub taken as a trade-in a couple years ago in Washington state that was up on eBay asking about the same price- 17K. The difference is that it sold in a matter of just a couple of days. It was in time-capsule shape.

The two pulley fan would be correct. It would have a three pulley damper.I have that set up in my 64 suburban. Mine was put in back in the day . riverside, I think Wards? Bob

Is your A/C compressor above the fan?
Look at the pictures, there is no way a belt from the crank would miss the fan pulley to get to where the bracket for the A/C pump is.
(which is why I probably overlooked the bracket before, because of its location)

I had not really looked at all the pictures, my compressor is setting where the smog pump is .
