Anyone use Vintage Air

jbc426 said
I used the Vintage Air Gen IV evaporator with their 3 slide control inside my '68 Barracuda convertible. The servo controls work great, and there are no troublesome manual cables to adapt. It fits in there very nicely and performs well. Yes, it does require blocking off the passenger side cowl air vent, but I don't miss it. They don't make a direct fit kit for my car yet, but the Vintage Air Gen IV is a very high quality unit that moves a lot of air and allows for A/C assisted windshield defrost.

I sourced a larger R134 compatible condenser, receiver drier, Sanden compressor. lines & fittings from Nostalgic Air. I have a 5.9 Magnum based 408 in the car with the Mopar serpentine belt set-up, so the brackets were on the motor. For the upper mount on the evaporator, I used 2 nut-certs in the cowl.

How much work was involved in the install of the evaporator unit under the dash. Like I said before Vintage air is just down the road from me and the few times I’ve gone there they have not been helpful at all. I asked them about my compressor if it would work and the guy told me I would have to find out from someone. I told him that’s why I am here you guys are supposed to be the experts. He handed me a catalogue and said let’s us know what you need. I told him again that’s why I was there I did not know what I needed. So I am still on the fence. Your setup is nice. Did you fab the under dash vents and can you post a full pic of your center console. That looks really good.
