Electric A/C Kit for 1st Generation Commodore
Along with the the development of the power window harness my VL Calais requires new HVAC systems. I don’t have a good vacuum wheel to control the vent modes, so I want to install a more modern HVAC that has climate control, servo driven duct gates, rear vents and a replaceable cabin filter. I have chosen to use an electric scroll A/C compressor, as I want to have as little in the engine bay as possible. As the VL is only going to have an alternator on the engine, power steering will be an electric powered hydraulic pump.
The electric A/C compressor will also enable other cool features like remote control of the climate control system and periodic venting of the cabin when parked. I am still not sure if I will add these feature but that is just developing software methods on an ESP32 or a SOC.
