Re: vintage air

I have installed MANY vintave Air kits. "Sure-fit" kits are pretty easy installs, and are desinged to be like a factory style install. Remember that A/C in a 60's or 70's was kind of bulky lookin. The hoses go through the factory heater box port, and a cover is included, it is made of plastic like the stock heater box cover. I agree to get and use the factory style heat - a/c control. Next, for guys doing a more custom style truck, I would say to use seporate parts. I like the Gen II Compaq, swap to knob style controls, an inline 4-port bulkhead, hose kit w/dryer, the monster condensor, and a compressor. This set-up will take more work to install, but it will look cleaner. Smoothing off the stock firewall on the pass. side, and making a new dash face for the a/c controls is the hardest part. Hope that helps.
