Re: Suburban Vintage Air A/C

Steps, details, and part numbers?

Well I just ordered the Vintage air Mini Slim line unit. I had to get for the # 6 hose a strait fitting and a 90 degree. For the # 10 hose 2 90 degree fittings. The T fittings I got from a shop that works on A/C systems for 18 wheeler trucks. 25 feet of # 10 hose and 25 feet of #6 hose. That was about it. The hardest part was cutting all the holes for the lines.
I do have the Vintage air sure fit Gen II system in the dash.
Also the system does not have a way to isolate the rear so if the front a/c is on the rear is. If you turn the fan off on the rear while the front is on it will freeze up the rear. You can get a valve from a chevy dealership to shut the rear off but it is a few hundred dollars. If any one finds one that is affordable let me know.
I bought the a/c unit and hoses from a dealer so it was less than from directly from vintage air.
