Heater Core tube location w/air cond.
« on: May 27, 2015, 03:58:23 AM »
On a 69 Camaro  w/ factory A/C,  are  the heater core tubes location on the firewall the same for any engine, I saw a 69 for sale that is a factory  A/C car,  the A/C box and all equipment are gone, the seller says it is a B.B. car because of the heater tube location moved toward the fender, but I cannot find any proof  this car was an original Big Block car.

Heater tubes on an A/c car are outboard near the hood hinges like a big block car, but the core itself is different than a big block heater core.

Yes the A/C heater cores are all the same and come thru the evaporator housing in the same location, big block or small block.

Great photo, this is what I saw when I went to look at the car, the owner thinks because the heater tubes are near the fender he has a big block 69 Camaro.
Thanks.
