It might require a bit of finagling but it would be quite simple. It is a
solenoid valve that allows a bit of extra air into your intake system to
speed up the idle. It is connected to the AC clutch (which is electric) so
that when the clutch is engaged and the engine sees more load, it also gets
a faster (or more powerful) idle to make up for the load. Sort of like a
non-feedback governor. I may have one around somewhere. If you'd like me to
look for it e-mail me offline.
