Maybe when I get tired of sweating while driving.
Even have 5 or 6 cans of R-12 stashed.

We had that exact same unit in my Suburban when we got it in 1976. Worked up until my "stepbrother" ripped it out and twisted the copper tubes, so the only thing that worked was the blower.

I was considering going with Vintage Air because they offer the Mark IV unit. I have an old Mark IV sitting on a shelf in the shop. However don't know if it can be reused. I'd rather go with a new unit anyway. Who knows when any number of issues with the old unit may crop up.

Are you talking about restomodair? If so, you can install vents wherever you want as long as you run a duct to them.

I know its been awhile but here is some pic's of restomod air, I put center vents where ash tray was and side vents under dash, controls just left of radio, unit works great and customer service is great

Owner of company[SOUTHERN RODS, GREER, S.C.] has a co.-truck, a '66 rat rod, with one installed in his truck, so I was able to test the performance before buying.

My installer says he has installed VA'S, which he praised also; has now installed 2 Maxi-II's and he says this Maxi-II installs just as well and he loves the electronic mix of def., floor, and mid-dash offered by Maxi-II. Says price favors the Maxi-II, also.

Telephone help/advice/suggestions is above average too. They know their stuff!

Hope you enjoy your selection.

Have used Vintage Air in numerous vehicles, on my C-10 I built this so I didn’t have to butcher the dash….
