[W126 Coupe] climate control

[Shayegan, Richard]

Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought that newer system is entirely electric
whereas the W126 system is vacuum. So every single part would have to be
changed I would think.

	Just thinking since I have my interior apart and out of the car.
Besides the control unit itself, what other items would I need?  Isn't
the computer in the control unit?  I guess maybe a different blower?

	That would be a monumental task..  Not only would it cost a good
bit of $$$ in parts (computers, sensors, wiring, duo-valves etc, etc)
but retrofitting it in would require disassembly of the entire dash.
Everything on the later cars is linked, and chances are you would have
to swap over an inordinate amount of items that you A) can't use B)
can't make work on our cars w/o losing your mind. 
	
	Besides, the later climate control isn't anything fabulous.
	
	If I were going to make a swap it would be to the fully manual
dual zone Euro Klima.
	
	Considering the time involved why not swap an M119 or M120 in..I
think those would be more straight forward.
