Subject: A/C retrofit to '91

   Date: (none)



  I've been following the list, educating myself on Miatas, and learning a

lot.  Now it turns out I have a question I haven't seen covered, at least

since I've been reading.  :)



  I'm considering a local '91 Silver in excellent condition, garaged,

23,000 miles, offered for $10K.  Unfortunately, it doesn't have air

conditioning, which I've grown very accustomed to down here in the

Southeast.  :(   



  Can anyone offer advice/opinions on having air retrofitted?  Is it worth

having done, or am I better off waiting for one I like with air?  Mazda

offers the parts, which the local dealer here lists at $800 and labor at

$432.  I've e-mailed a price request to Roebuck, which is about 2 hours

away.  If anyone has any opinions on Roebuck, yea or nay, I'd like to hear

them, as well (direct e-mail responses to me are fine, or posted to the

list, either one).



  I ran a search on the archives, but after 30 minutes no response.  Looks

like one of those queries that need to be run at an off-time.  So, thought

I'd solicit advice here and check the archives late at night.  :)
