Classic Auto Air in 67 Barracuda Factory Non AC

Just installed this kit in my 1970 Dart. The position problem with the temp slide seems to be universal and Classic doesn't seem bothered by it, or interested in fixing it. My temp slide seems to work correctly now that I modified the wire to provide full travel. On my car when I tried to put their adapter on the dash defrost vent above the controls and then tried to install their hose it all interfered with the function slide - I got rid of their adapter, installed a section of original hose and ran their smaller hose up into it. It all works fine at this point. The other big issue that I ran into is that the bracket on the box that is toward the inside of the car was impossible to mount because there was no way to get to the top hole to drill into the cowl without removing the whole dash frame from the car. I turned their bracket around did some bending, and added a bracket to the cowl so that the holes could be drilled through the glove box hole.

I didn't like their glove box so I took a later model plastic glove box and modified it to fit and then mounted their control box (where all the wires go) inside the glove box as well as the relay.

There were also belt clearancing issues with the compressor at the thermostat housing and the water pump neck fin (just one). The brackets came from Bouchilon (printed right on them) and Bouchilon knew about these needs and got me going. The big aggravation to me is that the compressor has 2 belt grooves and the crank pulley has 2 grooves for them but they don't line up so you can only use one belt and Classic and Bouchilon both think this is just fine ((grrrr)). I will eventually do a bunch of work to move the crank pulley out so both belts can be used, but then you have to space the water pump pulley (shallower pulley) and the power steering forward so that they line up with the crank. This by the way is on a 1970 motor with the aluminum water pump so your 68 would be completely different.

All in all I have had this installed and fully operating for 2 months and maybe 500 miles and it works great, but a Perfect Fit??? Hell NO!!!
