Did A/C in 1973 Mustangs work well?

Vm 27 January 2005 18:58:13
 Some people have told me that the A/C in the first-generation Mustangs were
cold but could't be compared to the more modern cars. Others have told me
that the A/C was freezing cold. Since I live on a tropical island, the A/C
is very important.

So was the AC good in 1973?

Thanks.

How many times are you going to ask the same questions?

By '73, as I recall, the factory air had the kinks ironed out and worked
well.

The compressors were inefficient as he!!, that's why all now use japanese or
GM designs..

But if you're buying a 73, that's the least of your worries regarding gas
mileage.

I assume you can still buy R 12 ("freon") in your location... you're going to
need it.

Had one in my '73 Cougar (same set-up I believe) that I just sold.It
still worked,and would keep the car comfy through the
California-Nevada-A­rizona desert at 120°F outside.Had to add Freon 12
every couple years or so.

Well, they were inefficient and maybe that's one reason they phased
them out. I think the main reason is that they were too big to fit
under the hood of the smaller cars that were coming out. Geeesh, can
you imagine them trying to fit an old Tecumseh or Yorx compressor under
the hood of a modern car?

As far as reliability, for the most part, they were. They probably had
a longer lifespan than modern day compressors. I have an original on a
'71 Cougar and it still works.

 I was worried that since it's a very old car, then the a/c 'technology'
wasn't that good.
I currently have an '89 volvo 240DL and when I take it to fix, the first
thing they say is that the a/c doesn't cool as much as other cars (ie. it
cools but it's not 'ice cold').
