ECC Auto Shop LLC out of Florida sells the entire kit including the sanden compressor and dryer . All you need is the engine bracket to mount the compressor. 575. It’s the best bang for the money. Less than half the price of this one.

How are you liking it? What’s your opinion on not having a defroster?

@@anayadavid4 it’s great and I didn’t need the defroster in my truck. The original works fine. The AC is what I needed. It was 98 today with a heat index of 112. I was out and about over a hour in it right after lunch. I couldn’t run it wide open. It was to cool and my truck isn’t air tight. It’s not awful but you can hear wind noise. I have 0 complaints 2 and 1/2 months in. I will be putting another 1 in my 4wd before next summer that’s for sure. I feel like if there was gonna be a problem I would have found it by now It’s my daily driver. I probably run 3-400 miles a week.

was thinking of selling my truck and start over on ac equipped vehicle but i think this would be a better route for my favorite truck

Thanks for the video it was extremely helpful.

Excellent video!! Thank you Thank you as I was looking at the vintage air gen 5 and the labor to install is crazy and the unit is up there too but this unit is just right..Thanks!

Awesome video, thanks!

I'm convinced.

I have the 1979-80 model and want to know what type of door lock system are you using and did you upgrade the starter for the keys to start. last question what type of upgrade did you do on the suspenseion or how did you do it. love your videos on these pick ups, very usfull.thanks

That’s what I have in my 81 Alfa Romeo GTV6, replaced all the original hvac. My only issue is the low fan setting isn’t low enough! Car has a ton of glass with a lot of heat gain but stays very cold

What a beautiful truck. Great job guys. Wearing my Drive it Break it Fix it Shirt Now lol

I actually just want to add a second AC to my car. I don’t care if they have to install the unit into the trunk. The only thing stopping me is money.

Tape tissue paper or streamers to the vents so your viewers can see the airflow.

Can you please put a link with the belts hoses and everything else needed for this a/c and heat steup, last guy deleted both my ac and heat is there a instruction video on this as well? and where do you control it?

Gday! Did mounting the condensor reguire modification?

Wow thanks

I have a Chevy Aveo 2004 with no A/C is this just like a plug and play kit ?? I have the vents in my car and the controls just don’t have the A/C on and off button

Will this work with an electric compressor? Not enough space to mount a belt driven compressor

Where can I get it for 1971 buick centurion

Please put the purchase link bro

The bulkhead creates 4 additional connections (4 on an AC only system, 8 on an AC plus heater system) that are potential leaks. It also makes it impossible to easily dismount the inside unit if you need to move it because it will be connected to short, hard to move, hoses. That's because the bulkhead prevents the hoses from moving backwards into the engine compartment which allows some flexibility in moving the inside unit around and out of the way. I know the bulkhead setup looks "pretty" but to me seems like a waste of $75 and the creation of more problems than benefits. Aside from "pretty" it would mean if you had to replace a hose it will be a shorter piece of hose.

Yeah the bulkhead is very much optional. And you're very much right when it comes to the leaks. But in our experience, you set the unit wherever it need to be first, then make your hoses, and it never needs to move. In this application, there truly was only one location the hoses could go through the firewall anyway, so no moving it around. The main benefit other than just the aesthetic is that the bulkhead allows for tighter 90° turns than the hoses can bend, making the install on this specific truck possible.

@@hodsonmotors you make a good point in regard to the ability to do 90 bends. Mines in a 57 tbird and to do anything under the middle dash the unit needs to be dropped and swung out of the way.

Did you guys make the wood face? Because it looks great, I want to do that for my car so it matches the rest of the dash.

Yes! We took off the mother of pearl face, and just wrapped it in a wood grain vinyl that matched the rest of the trim. We bought a bunch of different 2x4 pieces from Amazon and just used the one that matched the best.

Have you guys tried any of the 12 volt systems? I've been hearing some good things and they don't clutter up the engine bay.

I can’t believe you have to buy all those parts separately. I’d prefer a system with everything you need in one package.

It's probably because every single classic is different. Different compressors, different condensers. If you've got a more mainstream classic (like a Chevy squarebody for example) you'll find all in one kits.
