IIRC, you'll also need the smaller glove box from an aircon'd Corsa.

i know where there's 1 of these in a scrappy, as well as the small undertray n air con switch, no engine tho so i assume the main workings are gone

when you all say it will be a bitch to do, is it mods that need to be done or just standard fitting that is an effort?
RobHayes: any chance you can find out how much they want for it?

when they say bitch they don't mean just any old common or garden bitch, this is mamouth nasty hellbitch crap here.
front cooler compressor all pipe work and then condenser and heater matrix along with glove box. the whole car from the dash forwards will have to be taken apart to get the kit in then the engine replaced amongst it.
TaaaaaSk.. and then some

yeah too much work involved, do you have a sun roof ?
My corsa is non air con and i wind windows down, sun roof right open and blowers on cold and its fine. Do you have leather seats? if you do thats why your getting a sweaty back, if not your just a genrally sweaty bastard, lol.
