I would like A/C in my 72 Satellite but not a fan of the Vintage Air price tag, plus they don't sell a kit for my car anyway. I have been considering using junkyard parts to make make my own and was pulling parts off of a Fifth Avenue this weekend which had most of its AC system intact. I was thinking to use the brackets, lines and compressor from that car as I already have all the other accessories for a FEAD with A/C on my 318.

I was liking the few posts I have seen with people using 2nd gen ram heater boxes and controls and seeing them fitting well in a car.

Finally, I was going to use the condenser from the LX platform since it has an integrated dryer and trans cooler all in one.

It will require some custom hoses, but I think the whole setup could be had for $500 with rebuilds parts included.... anyone want to poke holes in my idea?
