"The 74 in the junkyard is an automatic...in fact, it's the most loaded up B20 I've ever seen....powersteering, a/c, automatic. Must have been pretty sluggish."

The P/S doesn't suck up that much ... the auto - oy! It takes acceleration from "adequate" to "leisurely". Such said, I don't dare to see what would happen should I put one of 'em old york A/C's in.

I suppose it could be worse ... in the same era, some of the Japanese cars were equipped as such (PS/AC/Auto), but with even smaller engines.
