Whats required when switching from regular ac to climate control?

[Phili602]

I had a eddie bouer and now have a xlt but I do still have parts for my eddie so was wondering how so switch my ac from the switches to climate control? Would I need the whole interior wiring or just the dashboard and the blower assembly? I do have the whole wiring out of the eddie but some wires cut and I dont wanna have to tear out my whole interior again. Its getting hottt out here in AZ so need to get this fixed asap! Oh. I was wondering because I did a body swap a xlt body on a eddie chassis. It has the 4.0 sohc. I have the engine bay harness on the xlt body and the ac plugs dont match up. So instead of ripping out the engine bay harness I was thinking it might be easier to put my eddie dash in and put the eddie blower assembly thats under the hood on the xlt. I talked to someone who has done it but cant find his post. Any help on this is appreciated!

Next time, you should try the search button first, you get answers faster that way, and it clutters the forum less.

So whats easier? Rewiring engine bay or putting in eddie dash and rewiring?

Depends which you want to do. Dashboards are a PITA to remove, there is a write up though, do a search. Re wiring the engine bay will also be just as complicated so its your choice.

Also its Eddie BAUER you keep misspelling it, run spell check before you post, a lot of it made very little sense.

Ok, im sorry but I only have my phone internet right now.... I wanna know what is needed, as in wiring to change the xlt manual knobs to the EB climate control? I have the EATC, EB engine bay harness, EB blower assembly with resistor and EB dashboard wiring harness. Do I need the EB wiring that goes throughout the whole interior just to have the climate control work? Or would it work with the parts I currently have?
