Vintage Air Install

After my old A/C kicked the bucket I decided to install a Vintage Air kit. We put this video together on the install. My hope was that it would cover what it take to install a kit in a square body...

Re: Vintage Air Install

It looks more efficient. But I would have several concerns first is how does the firewall look now that the box is gone and then I don't like that the glove box gets hacked up to fit everything internally. Can you post pics of those two areas? Honestly I have had little complaints on the AC in my blazer from anyone. It blows cold especially with a later model blower motor(95 ish silverado)

Re: Vintage Air Install

I can post some in the next few days. I can say that the glove box was not a big deal to me. It is smaller but looks factory. Actually with all the crap that ends up in there I didn mind it being smaller. The firewall now has a black block off plate where the heater core and blower was. I think it will blend in nicely when I paint the engine bay black. The blower in the 87 was sub par compaired to the new one. I would say it was my biggest complaint. It did not blow wort a crap. Yours being from a later model probable solved that issue.
