A stock SC is not a winter car, but my 78 SC I've used as a daily driver for 10 years and I live in Alberta and use the car in temperatures down to -40. Modifications I made;
Footwell blowers
Idle air pre-heat
5W40 synthetic oil & synthetic trans oil
Added floor insulation
Winter tires

I route the inlet air for the AAR through a copper tube loop under the cylinders. I also T-off this line to the lower line of the dec valve to provide warmed idle air. A toilet tank valve makes the ideal idle adjustment in this line (TB idle screw gets completely closed). This system warms the idle air and prevents freeze off since CIS has no TB heat.
