I have a Vintage Air system that is the new "corvette sure fit" and like it a lot which cost $1,250. It uses the original dial switches and does not use the old vacuum system to change out the air flow direction as everything is electronically controlled. I have full AC/Heat/Defrost.

I haven't got the system charged up and running yet, as I am finishing off a few other jobs - the while I'm at it syndrome
- so I can't really comment on how well it works.Overall, I'm quite happy with the kit. One complaint I have is that I bought the polished compressor upgrade, but they still only supplied a cheap steel compressor bracket. I swapped it out for a billet alum bracket.
I had no problems with customer service. When I called for help they were prompt and helpful.
Not sure how it stacks up against the other kits.

I installed the CAA system in my '69 coupe.

P.S. I forgot to mention that the installation instructions left something to be desired, but overall the install wasn't that difficult so it didn't matter.
