[alfa] GTV6 2.5 vs 3.0 and AC equip

["Jay T Hinton" <jhinton@xxxxxxx>]

Now that the GTV6 is rapidly becoming a 25 year old classic,  I need to
figure out which way to go with Tazio, the 1983 2.5 litre, 3.4 ratioed
GTV6.  Tazio lost his original leather interior some time ago,  with a
set of Verde Recaros and the rear seat cushion removed, with just a
carpeted area in place.  I still  have the original seats.  Other than
that, very few modifications at all.  But,  I have a spare 3.0 Verde
motor now and the wiring harness to go with it.  

I am inclined to swap in the 3.0 and its harness.  But doesn't this
lower the value of the car, quite a bit.  Sure,  its going to be much
quicker and pleasant to drive,  but one day, Tazio will be moved on down
the road to another owner.  I doubt I would want to replace the original
wiring harness, though replacing the original 2.5 motor would not be
difficult.

And,  with more cars needing AC work,  I wonder if anyone might suggest
some AC equip to pull a vacuum on the system once its repaired and
bolted up.  I would most likely work with R134A gas, but would welcome
other suggestions as well.

Thanks, Ciao,

Jay
