After market A/C option?

Post by Zorm »

Has anyone on here seen or installed something like this unit? https://www.oldairproducts.com/product/ ... de-package
Its A/C, heat and defrost. I'm tossing around the idea, will be getting the sanden compressor, dryer and condenser separate. Sanden compressor since I got a bracket from tylerb43, which is awesome by the way. My biggest question is, what did you do to, OR, how did you connect the vent on the right side of the cab.

Not a lot of detailed information, and a different unit, but maybe get some idea. http://www.fordification.com/forum/view ... 3&start=15

Also I think it is WhitsEnd who has some good info in his project thread on one of the units.

I was thinking a member had some videos on the old air, but can’t find it at the moment.

Duckrider, that Vintage air system looks like it would work better. I like how the A/C lines run through the passengers air vent area and outside the engine compartment via other side of inner fender. I also like how the air vents fit in the "indent" area at the bottom of the dash. One thing I would do is modify and move the heater tubing so the firewall openings are also on the other side of the inner fender, block off the stock heater hose firewall holes and have no hoses in the engine bay on that side of the engine.
