The doner parts sounds low cost, you might consider checking or replacing the evap & heater cores before installing the doner evap under the dash to be sure they are not leaking.

Vintage Air has a "Gen IV" model with electronic controls, no more vac lines & pots or pull cables to mess with. With elect ctls, you can mount the ctl panel pretty much anywhere you like; stock location, inside the console or under the dash -- sets you free for placement.

Rob, great photos!
Any photos of how you ran your A/C lines from the engine bay into fenderwell area & into the dash to the evap unit ? Where did you source the heater line pass thrus ?
Thanks !
"Longgone" Wow beautiful Cuda - don't sell it A/C it !
"juvat" hate to hear Hot Rod Air is gone, their web site is still up & running. Thanks for the install link
"Jaws" thanks for the photos
Like "BWDart" says, Bouchillon Performance makes & sells all manner of pulleys & AC parts. I like...
I am curious, are you racing your car? Is that why you are wanting to save weight, by removing the A/C components?
Regarding the blower motor that sticks thru the firewall, is that a cover or the actual motor? If it is only a cover, then maybe you could keep the cover in place (keep factory...

Hi 6pktogo,
Take a look at Bouchellion Perf's low mount AC bracket for your big block, it mounts underneath the alternator and I believe you can use your other factory non-A/C alt & PS brackets & pulleys as well. You will have to use an electric fuel pump with the low mt A/C bracket.
I am...
You might look at Hot Rod Air & Vintage Air products for their universal fit evap units. They offer vac & electronic type controls.

I have heard very good things about Classic Auto Air's tech support. They offer a "Perfect Fit" series for many cars...
Are you wanting an entire replacement evap unit to go under your dash to replace a missing or broken OEM unit ? Or do you want a universal fit in the dash evap unit ? Several mfg's make Universal fit evaps that might fit under your dash (to do a/c, heat & defrost); Classic Auto Air (they also...

Hey Moparfreak77,
This link (Sandy's Garage) shows a 70 B-body resto, but I thought the text & photos might be of help to you (and other folks) for your heater box resto. See week# 135 for the driver's side air vent and week # 136 for the heater box. Hope this helps :-D...
I can't say from personal experience for an A-body, but I checked their "Perfect Fit" (PF) series units for my 67 B-body. It will use your org non-AC heater controls for both A/C, defrost & heater, so that sure helps the orginal dash "look". Have heard they have very good customer phone support...
I believe Bouchillion Perf's low mount compressor bracket is supposed to work with non a/c car pulley setups. They even offer many different reproduction pulleys...
Most of the aftermarket A/C mfg's use Sanden compressors & some sell kits to mount them on your Mopar. Bouchillon Performance makes a low mount a/c bracket that permits the compressor to mount underneath the alternator on an RB engine. You can update the under hood part or both. Most of these...

Hope you don't mind a B-body guy replying. I am in the same spot wondering which way to go. I believe I will go aftermarket with my car. Am trying to choose between Vintage Air, Classic Auto Air & Hot Rod Air products. It is very hard to find articles & photos on the web on Mopar A/C installs...
Hi kbduster,
