New guy with 1966 Coupe

Welcome to the forum! Car looks great! Wipers arent too much of a pain to redo its a classic! lol

Recently I was in the same position as you, I opted to replace the A/C with a Classic Air set-up, I figured I will pay now, or later, it works great. I live in Florida so it was a no brainer. (two day project for a 68 year old man in his garage). But you will need access to a vacuum pump and gas to charge it up.
My wiper motor was also not working. I found that there is only one aftermarket vendor that sells a replacement for the motor, I searched for days online, but you also have to change the switch to accommodate their wiring/motor. Or I believe you can have yours rebuilt. (let me know if you need the name of the vendor that sells a replacement) And yes it is a ball buster to remove. I removed the steering wheel and dash instrument cluster, which is needed to reach in and remove the arms clips. It is a tough job but do-able. Plan on taking your time. I also removed the front drivers seat (Easy, two minutes) and put two pillows on the floor, this allowed me to lay on my back and get under the dash comfortably. The seller of my car told me he was nervous to tackle the wiper issue, that just made me feel better after I accomplished it. I did end up with a few scratches on my arms, but it was worth it. Nothing ever goes as easy or as planned so I just take my time and when I get frustrated I take a nap..
Best of luck to you.
