It's pretty bulky as you have the Blower Motor, Evaporator, Pipes,Pulleys, Brackets and the Pump. The Pump is VERY heavy for its size? I sent a rebuilt Auto Box to a guy in Vancouver a few years ago, and the shipping by Air Freight was around £150, but a LOT cheaper than what UPS wanted. This lot would be lighter than an Autobox.

it's ironic that we don't need AC in the UK and I've just pulled a full system out of a '93 Spi with the V belt, and a '97 with the broad toothed belt. I must have at least 4 complete systems gathering dust in my shed. Nobody wants AC on their Minis in the UK. If the Temp gets over 85 here then people are dropping like flies As we are not used to the heat. Jim
If you have the '97 MPI A/C system and are willing to sell it - I would take it. If the whole package is too clumsy to post to the USA, I would just take the mounting bracket for the compressor and/or any extra tensioning pulleys that go along with it. Anyone in the UK with such a bracket for sale can make some coin off of me...

If the instructions say "Astro Air" and the compressor is mounted in "reverse" (i.e. the compressor faces the front of the engine with the back end facing the left inner wing panel) then I would buy this.
Is there no diagram at all? I think the old Astro Air instructions also had hand-drawn diagrams. I'm going to see if I can figure this out... but ensuring that it can fit is why I think other people besides myself were asking about the fitting directions.
This kit looks like the Asian kits that were on the market a couple of years ago and came with limited instructions, i know someone who installed one and said it took a while to sort out but worked fine.

AC for classic Mini is still for sale, I didn't have time to follow through with sale last yr.
I don't know much about it, was purchased from an individual in Cal. with some (very basic) hand written instructions.
It would appear to me that some professional help may be needed unless you are AC literate.
What you see is what you get, saying that it appears everything is there for a complete installation.
If your truly interested call me 231-838-4218

For sale in Northern Michigan 49770
Petoskey is Northern Lower Peninsula, I'll grant you, but still only about 2 hours away. Ad me to the interested in knowing more list, if it'll fit an MPI.
I doubt it will fit an MPI with a front mounted radiator. Jap minis kept side mounted raditators just to keep a/c in the cars.
