Need to replace whole AC system?

I need to replace my whole ac system, hasn’t worked in 10 years, does someone sell a complete system or do I have to buy each piece separately?

Are you sure the whole system is bad? Take her to an automotive AC shop and let them take a look.

Got to agree, just because it don't work don't mean everything is bad. SHotgun isn't the answer. What are the symptoms?

My first vette was a 1975, with AC. The system ducts were full of dust, leaves, and other debris, and even had various critters living in it....the AC comprressor was fried, and the shop still got it working! fear not.

Likely just a bad compressor or lines leaking.

The vintage air system looks nice, never used one myself.

They don't list one for an 82. I'm working with them now on getting their system to fit correctly in my 76. They are being pro active, but it is taking time, fortunately I've got other things to work on in the meantime.
