Re: Lmc AC kit
I didn't look at the LMC kit, but I'd suggest using Vintage Air, and buying from a local dealer if you have one. V/A tech support is really good, and odds are you'll need some.

Re: Lmc AC kit
I haven't looked at LMC's system recently, but when I did, about 6 months ago, the pictures they showed of the system looked exactly like the Old Air unit.
Compare the LMC picture with the old air CAP-7213-F

Re: Lmc AC kit
LMC's is an Old Air Product. Have it in my truck with the electronic control. Works great! Customer service has been good as well.

Re: Lmc AC kit
I just remembered a nice thing about Old Air: The AC and heater hose connections are on the engine side of the firewall instead of up under the dash like VA's. The only negative I see is the evaporator/heater box hangs down under the dashboard quite a lot, but I doubt it will interfere with passengers' feet.

Re: Lmc AC kit
Not a great picture. Poor garage lighting, and wifes car in front of the door.
