I have a Vintage Air heating/cooling unit in my 65 Satellite. It is a
Sandair compressor. It will freeze you out or burn u up depending on the
mode. It is a very easy installation. Take out your original
unit.....trash
it, .bolt in new unit with brackets provided. A bit of fab required. Had
to
fab some adaptors to use the original defroster vents. (I have the dash
pop
up units for defrost and air, as my car was factory air.) Their
adaptors
hooked up to the kick panel and crotch cooler vents. If you don't have
these
their below dash vents are ok. Bouchion Performance has the brackets and
pullies you need for the compressor. Hook direct to battery, 1 wire,
with
provided fuse link, and you are good to go. You will need a couple more
holes in the firewall, factory connections will not line up. Mount the
controls inside the vehicle....mine are in my dash, I have seen them in
the
glove box...... after mounting dryer, condenser and hoses.......vacuum
pump,
add Freon...
Start your engine my Mopar friend, Turn the unit on..enjoy the cool air
for
a few minutes........as u watch the temp gauge climb...oh my.......they
did
not mention this in all the sale brochures....!!!
Time to cure your engine temp problems.........me...3 years
later....custom
built aluminum radiator, custom cooling fan, performance water pump and
thermostats, holes cut in the hood under the hood scoop......100 amp
alternator.....mines running cool......mom's happy and I am in a
constant
nervous sweat watching all my gauges....
In answer to Gary H.....if mom does not want to ride in my classic
Mopar...
w/classic air, 4 windows down, wing vents open..leave her at home....IF
mom
must go........buy a new Challenger and lets both ride in modern
style......with AC, stereo, heated seats and all the amenities....it
will be
better in the long run!!
Good luck with your AC installation......
Ollie.....this has moved way past $.02 ....its now worth $50.......cheap
when you consider all the money you will spend on your AC....
