You’ve got a good eye- this is a non AC Trans Am that has aftermarket AC installed in it. The brand is “Old Air” and leverages the non AC controls to run it.
Ah gotcha. I figured as much but wasn’t sure. Does it just operate off of the vent setting? Sounds like I was wrong about the bulb. Sorry to steer you in the wrong direction
No worries on the bulb - that’s by far the easiest item to deal with on this project. Yes - the AC runs off of the vent controls. It’s a pretty cool setup that was much cheaper than Vintage Air at the time.
Good news! Got the speaker out the glove box side, after lowering the center vents. Not sure if I could’ve done this entirely thru the glovebox side instead but there’s no way that speaker would fit thru the gauge cluster opening. The bracket fits my replacement speakers too but the new bracket looks like it may be easier to install. It arrives tomorrow - will decide what option to take then.
I want to say it’s the same as the other. 192? Your center vents look different than mine. I have the piece with the vent deflectors that change the direction of the air and nothing behind them but the plastic duct. As I mentioned, I think I took mine out through the glovebox area. My replacement speaker didn’t allow for the factory placement of the center vent ducts so I’m positive I removed it in the process.
I’m curious. You have center vents but what appears to be a non-AC HVAC control
