Just wondering if anyone has come across any bulletins or documents explaining why Pontiac did not allow A/C to be ordered along with a manual transmission on the Firebird line in 1968?

Thanks

WOW, I never knew that. Very interesting. Please share if you find out more.

Not sure that is true. I know there were restrictions on the Ram Airs and the Sprints, but think everything else was fair game.

No, it's accurate. No M/T cars were equipped with A/C during the 1968 model year. But why??!!

I wondered the same thing. Were they available in '69. Did Camaro's have them in '68 & '69?

Why would they offer it in '67, but not later?

I'm not sure about the Camaros, but A/C was available on the Firebird in '67 and '69 with manual transmission, regardless of engine application.

It makes me wonder if re-availability has something to do with the redesigned water pump in '69? That might then suggest a Firebird cooling issue that Pontiac combatted with the early First-Gens.

I thought I remember the 400, 4-speed, A/C combination was not available in '68 or '69? This memory is vague since it was a few years ago when I was looking for my car.
