Looking good, I need to do an AC install on my C10. I completed a Vintage Air install on my 66 chevelle recently the problem I ran into was the ran 10-15 degrees hotter without the AC on. I was fighting cooling issues, but was able to fix it by replacing the standard fan clutch with a HD fan clutch.

With your AC on you might see 20-25 degree temp increases, especially during the summertime.

Just something to watch out for. It was my first AC install on an old car so it caught me off guard.
