I did the LS/Vintager Air swap in my '72 as well. I can tell you that the front unit alone will not be enough to cool the entire truck. Getting the rear unit to work with the VA is still on my list of things to do, but I don't have the 3rd row seating, nor do I have kids, so it hasn't been a priority. The VA unit will "cool" the front, even in the middle of summer, but it certainly doesn't work as well as the A/C in a new SUV. That likely has more to do with insulation and window seals in modern trucks compared to our 50 year old covered wagons.
