I just rebuilt my engine but am having some problems turning it over right now. I installed all the plumbing / compressor in the engine bay this past weekend and when I get my car running, I'm going to get the A/C charged. So, you'll have an update very shortly (hopefully).

Keep an eye open for an update here:

I did a classic auto air install a few months back on a 68 convertible. I'm very pleased with the results with one exception. The center air plenum doesn't allow for the 68's in-dash ignition so you need to reroute the duct to the driver's side ball vent behind the center gauges. Other than that the kit was complete and it cools great. I also fabbed up some brackets similar to the stock ones to mount the condensor without drilling into the core support.
