Aftermarket air conditioning

[johneich]

I want to buy an aftermarket AC unit to bolt in, this one at Summit looks good, any thoughts about different systems? Your success at cool cold air coming from unit? I like this unit as it is a complete replacement for the stock AC, not just an "under dash" unit. The Generation IV unit without control cables has a nice advantages but I like to avoid technology and go with cable controlled stuff, thoughts?

Vintage air is what I am looking at, mostly because Summit has a great website and answers their phones promptly.

Should work great. Your a/c ducts will be below the dash. Did you order the compressor mount kit?

I put a Vintage air setup in a 1970 Hemi Cuda clone a few years back

System worked extremely well. It could keep the interior in the 30s on a 100 degree and 100% humidity day with no problems

I have not yet ordered it yet, I thought Vintage was a complete kit, from the Summit webpage linked above, ...brackets, mounting hardware...

You would think if it was they would ask about engine size.

Hmmm, very good thought!

I read what vintage says and they are included. Summit does not stock the kit they are custom ordered to your engine and options.

Classic sucks. Vintage is a much better design and the hose and line routing is more like factory stock as where Classic looks added on.
