OEM AC, no without cutting dash, or aftermarket, yes.

Yes they will bolt right in. U do not have to cut dash. The heaterhose holes and ac drain holes will have to be put in firewall though. I think new holes need made.

A 68-72 AC unit will bolt in but keep in mind that the factory AC unit uses the heater / blower controls in the dash, which are levers in 68-72 and pull knobs in 67. I don't know how you would integrate the controls of a 67 to work with the 68-72 unit.

If the cables from the 67 are long enough and the blower resistor a 2 speed, the 67 controls should work. The 67 has 3 cables, just like the 68-72 does, but they may be too short. You could possibly still wire the 2 speed switch to a 3 speed blower resistor also I believe, you'll only have 2 speeds though, and you'll have to get creative on the A/C compressor turn on wiring. If you have the style that has its own A/C knobs on the unit, I think you should be able to make it work easily.

I am STILL in the process of trying to fit my Custom Auto Air Perfect Fit system into my 67, and it's taking a lot of head scratching and customizing to get it to work with the factory controls, as well as seal off the rain water from the passenger vent hole where the A/C lines go through.
