Default Lincoln TC head unit in A/C control

ive seen a lot of Town Cars (95 - 97) with the head unit relocated to the AC control hole in the dash. does anyone here know what it takes to do this? i just dont want to tear into my dash until i know what im getting into.

o and my skill lever is high intermediate. im not a pro by any means, but not novice either. let me know.

LOGIC? You seriously want to invoke logic in a conversation about fake hijackings, missiles hitting the pentagon, and bombs planted throughout the world trade center? I thought it was a given that logic was checked at the door when entering one of these threads.

nah bro the stock spot for the ac is the same size as a single din HU, and then the AC controld are relocated to the glove box, basically so i can put a 7" screen in the factory radio spot. anyways, heres the dash...

I don't really see much problem swapping spots then? Maybe might have to make brackets in case the holes don't line up and might have to extend some cables a bit, but I don't see much problem then.



I see that, how's the Z been? Please tell me this Lincoln is just going to be your DD and not replacing your Z!?

From what I know, it's just a wiring harness, vacuum line and a small cable. I've read a few tutorials on various a/c relocations, and if it is the way most of them are, you can just extend what needs to extend.

Yeah, haha if it wasnt for the AWD and the general interior/exterior design of the MS6 that I like so much, I would have grabbed the MS3 in a heartbeat.

yeah i hear it. and thanks 93ex. i understand the relocation and extending of wiring harnesses part, its simply i have been into like hundreds of dashes in the body business, and i do not know how much of a bitch it is to get even that deep into it.
