Classic Auto Air AC- things to look for
I installed one in my swinger and also had a few issues. Its well known that the glove box is just a generic piece of crap. Throw it away and make your own. I took a new reproduction cardboard one, took it apart, trimmed and put it back together. Looks like a factory box, just smaller.
I had one connector with wires in the wrong spot. This was pre-wired out of the box wrong!
You have to get creative with compressor mounting and pulleys unless you have a bone stock configuration.
I made my own bracket to support the main bracket where the tensioner pulley is. The one provided wouldnt work with my air gap intake. Pic below shows the bracket. Its the one going to the head where the ground cable is connected.
Btw unless they just came out with it, they dont make a kit for AC cars. You get the standard kit and make it work. Below shows the plate I made to adapt so I didnt have to cut the firewall or use that cheap plastic plate the kit comes with.
