Did AAR Cuda's Have an Option for A/C?

Probably a dumb question, but I can get a definitive answer on Google.

no, the 6 pack air cleaner would not clear the compressor

You couldn't get a/c on 6 packs or Hemi but you can fit a system using the more compact rotary style compressor like the system offered by Classic Auto Air and others these will clear the large air cleaners.

Yes I agree with aussiemark, to my knowledge A/C was not available on multi-carbed vehicles. Didn't know about the Classic Auto Air offering. Pretty cool (no pun intended)!

They were also all 3 speed wiper systems too iirc because the 2 speed motors interfered with the air cleaner.

Actually not true.
AARs came with the standard cluster which would have meant a 2 speed wiper motor. If the car was optioned with the A62 Ralley Cluster, then the car would have the 3 speed wiper motor.

Here is a picture of one of Tim Wellborn's 340-6 motors with the 2 speed wiper motor.

Well how about that! Maybe the interference was just a B-body thing then.

You might be right, when it comes to B-Bodies with a 6 pack. That would take some research for me to safely say. Then I'm sure that we have someone out there that already knows that one.

The 71 B body uses the same firewall as the E body but 69 and 70 were different.
