The factory "kits" Had everything except the R-12. I had to supply that. When done, you could not tell the difference, from factory installed, unless you were an expert.
The imports were the easiest to do, and as far as I know, every brand had the factory kit. Mopar and Ford had dealer installed kits available, but some were a real bear to install. I never saw a GM factory/dealer kit. So I am under the impression Gm never made a "kit". However, the aftermarket had just about every GM vehicle covered.

I see. That's why you didn't need to make up brackets. Maybe Frigette or Everco had some templates or brackets for the common engines.
The AMC-Jeep manuals and parts books from the mid-80s show dealer installed "American Air" so they were doing it too.

Wow small world. In early 70's I went to a junior college in Miami and my room mate worked at Miami Sales. He probably saw some of these A/C units. There was also a giant BFG plant in Miami at that time.

Was Miami Sales a BFG dealer or franchise?
