	Is there a good Nova site and did GM offer air conditioning as an option with 1969 and 1970 L78 Novas? If I wanted a stock L78 Nova (w/original drivetrain, sheetmetal panels, and GM documentation) who would I go to and what site (s) would I go to (I know this is a good site, but is there a Nova-specific site?)?. Thank you, Fred Gustat Illinois  |

			This is a fairly good site from what I have seen. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			http://www.stevesnovasite.com/forums/ As far as A/C, that was never offered on a solid lifter engine other than a couple Corvette options as far as I am aware. On a Nova, Camaro or Chevelle, never in 69-70.

			I am under the understanding that air conditioning was available on the hydraulic cammed 396 in the Nova.

			I think GM didnt put A/C on any solid lifter V-8 car because it would have interfered to much with adjusting the valves.
