Hello guys,

Got a lead on a '79 300cd w/ 80k miles. The seller is asking $3,250. However, the a/c doesn't work. Turns out this model has a really wacked out complicated a/c system. I remember as a kid, these cars having a/c problems. Now I know why.

Can you easily & cheaply convert the automatic climate system to a manual system? Anyone in Europe sell a kit perhaps? I would think the euro market would have plenty of spare parts to convert it.
