Any ideas what air-cons available in the market can be adapted for the Premier Padmini? Where can I find a blower unit that can be adapted to my car?

I want to do this before the onset of summer, so any ideas, suggestions will be helpful.

The SANDEN 507 compressor with a consenser and Superking evaporator coil cum-blower would suffice..as rightly pointed out by my colleagues,a second hand one would do well.

Do not,of course, forget to replace the stock radiator with a larger radiator .Please also change the radiator fan (non a/c pADMINIS USED TO HAVE FOUR BLADES,PLEAESE USE A SIX BLADE FAN).

Make sure to use rubber plugs/hitlon sheet pieces to block out the heat from the engine bay.There are a host of holes for the speedo cable,clutch lever,brake lever etc which can let in a lot of heat.
