dumb question, but can you re-fit the airmatic system into a ABC equipped car to save on maintenance & replacement part costs?

BTW, I think it is flat out awesome that you bought a V12 Benz, I have to tell you that I have been sorely tempted to a few different times, once saw a 600SL for sale at a measely 2200 bucks! But I never seem to have the cash available when a deal like that comes up. Plus I know these things arent cheap or easy to fix, which is another reason I've not yet pulled the trigger on a 12 cyl Benz. But someday.........
