    Climate Control in Retro Fir 66 Stang

    66 Coupe, 5.0 HO, T5z

    I'll be putting in A/C in my 66 coupe at the end of the summer.  It has a non functioning heating unit. 

    I can buy a complete Climate control package for a 1988 Foxbody and I can buy a complete kit for a 66 mustang.  But I've never come accross a package for the combination of a 5.0 w/ in a classic.

    Am I going to have to find somebody to hodge podge 2 kits?  I can find the vents and instruments for the 66, after that I'm clueless.  Are there such things as universal climate control kits?  This is a big part of my daily driver goal here in Texas.

    Any help?

    Talk to the guys at http://www.classicautoair.com/ .
    They can set you up with an air conditioner for your '66 coupe with the right compressor for a 5.0.
    I'm using their "Perfect Fit" system in my '67 coupe.

    Michael,  are you happy with your perfect fit?   A couple of weeks ago while at a car show in Denton I won a $1200 gift certificate to classic auto air.

    Lucky dog. 
    Yes.  I've had it for about 8 years now and have been very pleased with it.

    I have install both kits and was happy with both Classic air and vintage air.  I beleive the vintage air kit had a stronger air flow in the defrost mode. IMHO

     Glen,
    Which one had best air flow in MAX A/C mode?

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

    I think they are equal.  The defrost mode was the only difference.  Install wise they are about the same.
