Default Re: Where Can I Buy A New Air Conditioner

The original air hung under the dash in the middle. It contained the evaporator core/vents/blower. In not aware of any current manufacturers of the old parts. I know they can be found rebuilt, $$. If you looking for concours car show quaility then that may be what you want to do. I don't like that unit because it interfears with a console and it butt ugly.

The Vintage air unit in that picture all hides under the passengers dash. Look below the lines, theres two vents you can mount anywhere. Under the dash (hidden) or hanging from the dash. It doesn't require any cuts in the dash anywhere.

As far as the condesor, (part that sits in grill) You'd have to call Vintage Air and ask them who makes it. Id about bet a major radiator company does. I would say the same for the evaporator core, (inside car.)

*Vinage air uses late model A/C parts. SO all the parts can be had at any local parts houses, and fixed by anyone. It uses R134, which is the current freon.

*Original air used R12. If you get a remanufactured original system its converted over to R134. Although it will cool, it wasn't made for R134. You may run into problems right off the bat. And with anything that is remanfatured, it doesn't always last.
