Default A/C question?

Has anyone ever used an aftermarket A/C system in there C3. I heard that Vintage Air makes a good system, but don't make one for a C3. I think they can sell a universal one to go in a C3, but you have to use there vents. Does anybody know of a system that is made to fit a C3?

Check with Eckler's they sell two different kits that are supposed to fit C-3's, I have no idea of how well they fit or if they are hard to put in. Give Gary Gruhala a call and ask him, I know that he told me he could sell me the Eckler's kit at a savings.
His website is at http://www.angelfire.com/mo2/Gruhala...ses/index.html
His phone number is 636-586-3909, his business is in the St. Louis area.
He is a great guy to deal with and won't steer you wrong.
