Alright I'm looking for some opinions on A/C from the different brands. Quality/Fitment of parts, shipping, and most importantly How Cold Does It Get?

don't know about brands or anything, but if you can run an R12 system then it being cold enough or not wont be an issue

I like the factory AC units.I like my Glove box. but if you don't have the center Vent its ok you can percut the one on the side and make it work I like factory set ups then these after markets reason why i say that when you go see one ask them how hard is it to change out the heater Core dose it take 1 hour or 6 hours after you removed the hole Unit from under the dash Ya its like my 1996 ranger have to pull the hole dash out just to pull the heater core out

nothing better then Factory stuff if anything goes wrong with any of them after market units your truck is down until they get back to you when you have to rip it out box it up and shipp it out Me i rather Have the stuff they put into 2 million of these trucks and its worked in countless other GM car's Me i rather use the factory stuff

Some guys around me have used Southern Rods and Parts A/C kits and loved them. I was looking at them for my 40.
