as long as you make sure all your grounds are good the lights will work guages wont not with carbed you\'ll loose auto lights which turn your headlight on when it gets dark.. wiper work fine.. I dont think ac will work right because with the older ac compressors there was not a very heavy load ie they were not as good at compressing coolant as the new style so the motor was fine. the new ones will lag your motor a lot in idle you\'ll have to compensate with throttle.. your computer compensated by turning up your idle when it detected a ac signal. other then that the ac clutch should be easy enough to wire...
