I used to think that A/C in a classic car was for wimps.

Cant buy r12 over here.....due to environmental reasons.....just the less efficient but more planet friendly (allegedly) r134a. It is possible to get it but not as an amateur like me. Can only be bought by authorised and qualified techs......so if you know the right people you CAN get it....never bothered myself and use r134a. Its not that they think the public don't handle it correctly, its that without the correct equipment a lot of people were empting the old stuff by just venting it to the air....not good!!

Get the Vintage Air System.. They have factory and non factory air systems.. I am running a hybrid ducting. I had a factory center dash section and using the Vintage outer outlets (Easier to point at my Crotch).. They use a Factory like control panel. Not assembled yet, but working on it..

Yep, the word "crotch" should get him going.

I have allways though performance and comfort can live together... thats where a 3rd gen with AC comes into perfection because they are more comfy than earliers ( LOL ) And even with my stroked engine, kept the original AC working.. and FLAWLESSLY. Even with the heater ( locally whre supossely heater is not needed, the outlets were factory sealed althought complete system installed ). I was the first owner on make work the heater! Still had sealed the water pump outlets when I bough the car

Ahhh, Chris.....You are not even close to 50 yet. Sometimes a man gets to the point where he is tired of sweating!

Living in a place with high humidity, along with the high heat, will change your whole outlook on how important AC is.

No pictures... I figured with this set-up I could use the outer vents for the front seat passengers and the center for the rear seat passengers, if there are any..
