Does Vintage air offer a complete heat and air kit for a 70 Chevy with compressor and brackets for a 350? And does anyone know a ballpark price?

I have a 71 I'm restoring as well. It originally was a AC truck. I upgraded and bought a serpentine belts sys from a board member. It is a 350 as well with a 700R4.
If you don't mind could you send me a quote as well. The serpentine sys did include a compressor when the sys was removed I'm not sure it was working. I think the Vintage kit includes the compressor I hope.

Thanks

I would also be interested in a price. The truck is a factory air cab. It has a small block. Needing complete kit with brackets also. Thanks

I checked into VA for my big block AC cab. System was ~1300 don't know if it included compressor brackets. Was about 3K installed. After researching further I have decided to refresh my factory stuff.

I did the serpentine system on my 350 crate motor. The one Tom sells (on the board) are take-offs and have what is called an R4 compressor (big round black unit). Those compressor are made for R-12 Freon. My truck already had an aftermarket system with R-134. Vintage Air suggested that I could flush the compressor with A/C system cleaner. (Advance Auto) and clean the compressor out completely. I could then re-charge the system with 134. I did this and it worked well. But, my compressor had a bad noise at idle (remember, the systems are used, so no guarantees), and I eventually purchased a Sanden compressor and mounting bracket kit from V/Air. Now it's quiet and works great. Also much nicer looking too!i
If you are buying kit from Vintage Air, make sure you get the brackets to mount the Sanden compressor to the serpentine casting.
