I currently have heat. But I was wondering if I can swap something into my car (I knwo its old thats why im not sure if its possible) that will allow me to have both AC + Heat. Is it possible? And if so, do you know where I canfind the piece and where I should get it done? Thank you

I also had a question regarding my steering. I was wondering, if I buy a new steering wheel, will I be able to have power steering like newer cars?

Hi Marley,

You need to have the AC system installed in order to enjoy cool air and it is not going to be cheap to retrofit one.

Likewise you need to install a power steering system to get power assist, not the steering wheel.

For your year model I think it is not going to be easy to get a system.
