thanks

I would check out Vintage Air. I think they make systems that look stock and fit your stock dash air outlets.

Vintage air's web site does not list any for the corvette. I already have everything stock since my car came with aircondition. The only thing is i dont have any of the stuff to go under the hood.

i would find a salvage yard .find a wrecked 75 grab all the parts you you need and put it back to factory air .your going to spend alot of money any way you go .if its back to factory air it could help resell value .

Use the parts from the salvage yard as cores for rebuilt factory parts. All the aftermarket providers carry compressors, POA valves, pulleys, etc. Get all the hoses while at the salvage yard. Any good AC shop can use the old hoses as patterns and make new hoses for you. Since you will be coming back with essentially a new system, now would be the time to convert to R-134.
