I have AC in my 67 bus, and I am running a 1600. Another friend of
mine has a 1776 with AC (67). I notice little difference in power
when I turn on the AC, though I would lean toward a 1776 as my next
engine (as it would be nice to have a little more power overall).

If you are interested in AC's for buses, contact Gilmore Enterprises
in CLearwater, FL (727/573-2944). That is who did my AC, and did a
fabulous job.

IF you have any more questions, you can email me directly.
