Default 1981 240D A/C query

hello guys and dolls.

i've just been given the above car with 115,000 miles.

question: how does the A/C activate? in other words, how does one turn it on?

i don't have an operational manual, but i'm searching for one.

thanks much.

it is a manual control. i've learned that the belt was removed, so i'm having that installed. a diagram of the a/c pully system would be nice if anyone has it.

how to place the manual controls would also be beneficial.

thanks much.

Hello all. I also have the manual system (thank you Forced Induction). My 3 **** panel is shot, so I'm in the process of getting that replaced. What I can't figure out is how it is supposed to operate anyway. I think that the center **** controls the fan speed. The left and right ***** are for temperature or direction of airflow? I can't tell. Also, what is the lever just above the ***** for? Then to top it all off, there is a dial for temperature about 6 inches above the ***** on another panel. Any info would help.[&:]
