But can you tell me why these other items can't be ordered in advance? The labor to restore the seals will take that many man-days?

Every time I get into a big project, I find that one part I didn't expect to need and it has to come from Germany. So tack on some more time.
Budget two weekends to remove, refresh and re-install with a week or two in between while you make new damper seals and await overseas shipments.
Typical parts are an o-ring set, evaporator, expansion valve, upper and lower seal suitcase seal and 2 mm oval head screws that hold the suitcase together.
Since I removed all my lines and had them re-worked, plus installing a new condenser (which wasn't exactly a bolt-on part), powder coated and plated many parts, created new condenser seals and suitcase seals and waited as some things had to be done twice, took two months. Now that's my experience and I went end to end on my system, so I'm thinking that there will be enough things that you will need to correct that a weekend might not be realistic. Then again, maybe you don't go that deep into it. It's your choice.

That's a little bit of a surprise. Flint is a working class, post-industrial city. There's a more-affluent town just south from there called Grand Blanc that I expect would have a few more Porsches than Flint. On the whole, there aren't a lot of Porsches in Michigan or Porsches sold new in Michigan.

Pelican is showing it in stock when I search for evaps for my 1990 cab. Could also be that Pelican inventory is off, so no guarantees.

Told you I wasn't an expert lol!
I did find it in stock @ vivid racing. I've only ever ordered one thing from them so I have no idea if it's actually in stock and no real history with them, but if somebody's in need, might be worth a call out to them at least.

I'm going ahead with this job and gathering parts. I'll have to go with the OEM evaporator since Griffith's is sold out for now.
Been reading up on the job and have ordered most of what I anticipate needing. The p-car article has been most helpful but it is based on the 993. There is a comment about the 964 being more troublesome with regard to fan ductwork.
Can anyone tell me if I'm going to need to replace the inlet duct work beneath the fans? And there will be more foam seals involved? And are there cabin filters?
