My '66 coupe had Vintage Air in it when I bought it. I left the car idling with the a/c on inside my shop the other evening (98F outside) before I drove it home and as I sat in the car to leave, I noticed a little frost on the base of the windshield and the inside of that car was ***** cold !. This is with a stock radiator, fan & clutch. No overheating problems and really cold air inside the car. Wise choice mah frang !

Herb, I purchased mine 3 1/2 years ago from Lobeck's at a cost of $960.00. Ordered it with a polished compressor and...... Vintage Air made up custom lines for me as I didn't want the lines hanging in the engine compartment. I routed the lines in the right inner and outer fender and made fiberglass panels to conceal the air lines and wiring harness. If ebay doesn't come through for you ....call Steve at Lobeck's for a price.
