Cool My 79 Firebird Formula!

Hey everyone, I'm excited to be here and learn. This past summer I bought a '79 Formula with a 403, I even have a picture of the build sheet. Pictures were taken by the previous owner but here she is:

Nice Formula. Looks like the PO removed the AC compressor? Shouldn't be too much to add it back on.

You'd be amazed at the F-body, Grand Prix and GrandAM owners who have no idea their car has it.
I had no idea that the AT shifters in 2nd gen F-bods did that, so cool. Both of my 2nd gens ('77 Camaro LT and '76 T/A 455) both had MTs.

If you ever come across anyone who has a steering wheel like yours but in blue, I know of someone who is restoring a 1979 bird who badly needs it.
