Great documentary KD! I am still reading it. Thanks it’s super helpful!

Maybe your onto something KD I used to buy all my condoms at Harbor Freight and now when I shop there all of my 13 kids come with me.

Hey thanks Hawk! Did that fire wall insulation pad come with the kit? Did you use that as a template to drill the holes on the firewall?

Hawk yes that would be great to see pictures! What part of your old system does your classic air system ( if any ) use?

Hey guys. I am finishing my paint and am planning to start assembly. My dash is completely out (see picture). I am trying to figure out assembly sequencing and should I go aftermarket or stock hvac. I have all the original ac equipment. Can I install an aftermarket set up with the dash back in...

Thanks Jim!

If you have any pictures of how you hid any of the system components I would like to see it. Thanks!

Thanks I have time to research this as I am trying to finish the metal work on the car now. I live in AZ and want really need maximum performance from my AC. I don’t need heat but I understand that is needed for operation of the AC system. I have a complete original HVAC system I just pulled...

This is a great thread KD thanks for putting this here!

I am researching the differences and wondering what you guys know as a comparison.

+KD Hey would you guys be able to document your installation on a separate thread? When ever you get to it. That would be awesome for the next guys!

Sorry to revive such an old post but wondering what you ended up doing and how it worked out for you?

Good feedback thanks idriver this is why I am reaching out to everyone. I am trying to create a good workable plan. Since I am not looking for originality I have options and yor replies ate very helpful. I might just save up longer and go the auto air route after all. Especially if the...

Good points made. Why dump good money into an old system that may not be reliable. Seems like all the reliability issues reside in the box. The engine bay stuff as Jim mentioned is easy to repair and new compressor should be reliable if a good one is used. Jim’s apparently used this approach...

The clutch is a critical part of that excellent factory system. Will make or break it if it is not correctly set up. Good work!

Hi Idrivemopar, thanks for the tip. The radiator is the same size physically. It is of different material (AL) and internal design with duel electric fans so its thermal cooling capability compared to the stock set up can be debated till the cows come home. But physically its the same...

Thanks Jim!!

Thanks KD. I had that feeling that both heater and AC works together. Thats why I guess I mentioned that the heater is currently not in circuit. This helps me consolidate the plan for a revamp of the box when I tackle the environmental system. I know the controls need to be restored as well.

Hi Jim, thanks that’s very reasonable. Is a simple R conversion and compressor going to hack our summers? Any shop you would recommend for box testing and or rebuild? I am guessing by my initial inspection that the box needs an overhaul. I seen non local recommendations for good box overall and...
