It mounted well but, not in the OEM spots. I have had the kit for at least 6 years so I have no idea of current shipping or price. Many retailers carry Vintage Air so pricing is available on line. I made all the mounts.

prices have doubled in the last 2 years from what I have seen. And wait time is about 3 months or longer.

I too am in process of installing a Vintage Air kit in my 63. It was almost 4 months for the base kit that I ordered from Speedway Motors.It so far has cost me about $1600.
This includes the base hot rod combo heat/air under dash kit that was $1100. The extra cost is for small block compressor brackets,hardline kits,and fittings that weren't included with the base kit.I started on it about 6 months ago and work on it when I can.Right now is making up the hoses,routing,mounting.
Not too much left to do.Just time to finish it.I may have to buy a A/C radiator as the one I have now is for a non A/C small block and the upper hose is on the wrong side.
I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.
