    Air conditioning

    I ordered an indash air conditioning unit from Old Air products Hurricane system yesterday. Really didn't want to wait till the end of summer for a Vintage Air unit. They said 2 to 3 week delivery, (depending on shipping) .I will let you know how it goes in and how well it works whenever i get it installed.

    Re: Air conditioning

    What car is it going into?

    My Vintage Air just arrived this week. Took 14 weeks and one day. True to what they said when I ordered it.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Re: Air conditioning

    Ordered on Monday, showed up on Friday
    Going in to the 67 Coupe.  Everything looks good, the underdash unit is a little smaller than i envisioned it. I am hoping it doesn't affect the performance.  
    Going to start installing today

    Re: Air conditioning

    Looks nice and compact behind the glovebox.

    If you look at the surface area the evaporator, it is larger than an under dash units.
    I believe it also uses the modern design evaporator used in newer cars.

    You’ll be chillin’ this summer.

    What compressor will you be using?

    Re: Air conditioning

    Going to use the compressor off the 89 Mustang, Denso 6P148. Ordered a reseal kit and will be putting that in. Doesn't look too hard. Got the condensor in this morning, but have to take the wife out for Mothers day now.

    Got a little time this evening and installed the evaporator. Really pleased with how everything is fitting so far.

    Re: Air conditioning

    Does it matter where the charge port goes in the system? Right now the port will come out behind the compressor right next to the intake. I want to turn the hose around and buy a 45 degree fitting to make it fit better, but haven't found one to come out the top where I need it. 
    If i turn the hose around, the port will be next to the evaporator.

    Re: Air conditioning

    Take a look at coldhose.com

    They have quite a selection of fittings.

    I’m not an a/c expert, as long as the charge port is on the same hose, should be fine.

    Reason is that port is still in same section of the system, it’s a closed system.

    From your description, sounds like it is your compressor suction side hose.

    Re: Air conditioning

    I might be out in the broccoli patch, cause I'm not familiar with your compressor, but can it be rotated on the mounting bracket?
    For the compressor Vintage Air sent with connection toward the back of the body, it could be mounted with the connections up or pointed toward the fender apron.

    Re: Air conditioning

     No the compressor is original to the engine from an 89 Mustang, Denso 6P148a. Cannot be oriented any other way.

    Re: Air conditioning

    It could be placed in the trunk like my original compressor was when I bought my car. 😁

    Was compressor rebuild fairly easy?
