    Add A/C to a '65 reusing factory under dash A/C housing?

    Still have the original 1965 factory under dash A/C unit that has an exterior in good shape that I'd like to keep and reuse if possible as I think it looks better than most of the aftermarket units...

    None of the other A/C parts are still with the car. Is there any straightforward way to purchase and add all of the other equipment, engine bracket, upgrade to r134a, etc. while reusing the original housing?

    Ramses used the underdash housing and gutted it, hooking it up to Vintage Air unit. Ran all ducts inside of it

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

    I don't consider R134 an upgrade.
