My 94 RT/10 doesn't have A/C installed. I know it was originally a dealer installed option and later a factory option. I've called the dealer ship and the parts manager told me that the kit is no longer sold. I've found some parts refurbished or used online, but do not have a complete list of what is needed. I wanted to price out the option to determine if it's something worth adding. Does anyone know of any resources??

Thanks

That's a lot of money for ac on a car with no windows.
My ac has a little leak somewhere. I never thought about fixing it because I'd never consider driving around with the car all closed up... Not even in the summer.

$4k to add it to yours?
My advice would be to sell your RT and buy a GTS with air.

Chuck Tator did A/C in My 93 Viper last year. It was the best $ i spend on it. He did a great job and or cource it looks 100% original. Thanks again Wizard, It made driving the car in 99 degree weather possible.

Do It if you can find the parts. I found a complete kit when I did mine.

That's a little more then I'd like to spend...
I was just checking to se if it's worth it. I LOVE my RT/10, so no GTS in my near future :)

It's hot here in Pa this time of year. My 94 RT/10 has A/C but I've never turned it on. Don't think I'll ever but that crazy roof back on it either!

When Dodge closed out those kits (1998?) PartsRack bought the remaining 7 or 8.
We sold em out lomg ago....As I recall, the MSRP was a tad over $3000 then.

We have done several used-part-conversions (using 30-40% new parts) that ran about $2750 or so for total parts price.
