Mark: I didn't like VintageAir price but they sure came highly rated - mine
just arrived - looks like it will be a breeze - got generic kit without dash
vent duck. Purchased from Wheels of Time / Philadelphia, MS / 601 389 5880 -
with alternate controls & vents - my own compressor $878 at my door in WA.
( $200 less than the factory )
I'm using standard 350 LT1 GM compressor with VintageAir components so maybe
AC's are no as closely balanced as I thought.
Good luck,
Jim
