Just bought an NL Fairlane and am going to swap all the leather, elec windows, woodgrain and chrome goodies into the xr and was wondering if anyone has put the climate control modules in? would i need to change heater box and all the dash assembly or is it as easy as pullin old standard one out and plugging new one in? would i need to change bcm or anything over to run the electric windows?

it will require the dash to come out, and swap a blend door motor into your heaterbox, take out the old cable operated one.
the sensor/thermostat module is different, behind the glovebox. and the dash loom is different too fitting the NL loom will also require a few more mods to work with the EL dash instruments, the plugs are different. if yopu can, use an EL Fairmont dash loom. im not sure if there's a tech document on the conversion here? it can take around 6 hours doing it the first time... there is a technical document on Fordmods for this.
