Air Conditioning Install - Vintage Air Gen IV SureFit - Chevy C10 Truck A/C

[jesusflores]

Swap out the AC compressor to an HD suburban compressor, and install an electric dual fan set up. I live in the southwest about three hours east of Tucson, AZ, and have no issues with my truck.

I totally get this on a vehicle without factory A/C, but on a truck like the one featured with a very well-engineered factory system, and considering all the necessary modifications, it seems hard to rationalize. The stock controls are arguably more attractive, and the factory blower is under the hood instead of in the cab where it might add to the noise level. Of course if you need more under-hood space, this looks like the ticket.

I love my 86 Silverado, I'm going to install this system . He in Texas my stock a/c is great in the mid 80s once temps are in the 90s. The factory a/c is not sufficient

Mel Bch 🌴 Good intro. Doing our 1988 GMC 454 duelly. Thank you. 👌 🏄

[MrHandyguy]

How about showing an install in a truck that never had AC?

Des chefs-d'œuvre vraiment industriels 👌

Great kit, I'm still on the fence about buying it for my 1989 Suburban. It's still a Squarebody, like the truck in this video, but I would need to buy the parts from you individually, because I can't use that compressor or compressor mount on a TBI 350 though you do make the Vortec mounts I need and Sanden does sell the same compressor with a serpentine pulley. I would also need the T valves, as my Burb is factory reset AC as well.

You guys really need to make a kit for the 1977-1989 RWD Cadillacs because they're one of the most popular classic cars of their era. The mounts would vary based on engine, but the rest of it would all be the same (you could even make a version for the 90-92 RWD, which would be the same, except needing a different control panel) and I know you'd sell thousands of them.

Need this type of work done for my 1991 Chevy G20 Van

More like the older system with the better refrigerant worked better then anything you can do with R134a but converting a old 134a system was what turned the better system into junk!

[alberthernandez]

Ok sir. I’m really interested thanks for the advice …

[dirtyliberal]

I am considering getting one of these for my first truck, 1982 chevy silverodo k20, the problem I have is this is far from stock, what if the fan goes out in the vintage air it did not look serviceable on this unit, vintage should have just built on the original factory air system, yes you can get more air flow out of the new system but its not hard to engineer around the old system.

I'll be very interested in finding out if you guys carry Vintage Air for a 1985 Chevrolet Caprice Classic and what would be the cost for parts and installation

[AmpasaurusWrecks]

With the R134A refrigerant, what can we typically hope for as far as temp. at the vents? 40 degrees? A truck cab is a relatively small area compared to say a station wagon.

[Blackson]

My 71 Impala didn't come with air. You should make a video doing one of those.

[ogdee]

I checked your website out very impressed and do you have any application that's similar to a 1978 Chevrolet Caprice landau, it has factory 305 ?

[Mr.Frost]

How much would this cost for my 84 ss Monte Carlo

[davidcollis]

What is the part number for this kit? I have a Non factory air 1987 Chevrolet R10 Fleetside pickup 2WD that had an aftermarket A/C installed years ago by the previous owner. It will probably never work again and I'm not going to try. I would like to install a kit like this but I would like to have a larger condenser that looks more like the factory one. I also prefer the slide controls over knobs. Jay Leno really likes your products. He mentions it a lot in his videos. Thanks and take care.

I disagree with “all of the engineering has been done” to make this fit into my truck. Currently in the middle of installing vintage air into a 67’ Bronco and finally to the part of compressor install and the fan totally hits it. Nothing in the instructions on what to do in such case.

Hi Vintage Air and All,


I have just installed a Vintage Air System.
Everything New. Compressor Condenser, Lines and of course, a Gen II Vintage Air Heater/AC/ wDef.

I wanted to leak test the system first, So I haven't added R134A yet.
I have added PAG 100 Oil though,
6 oz in the Compressor and 2 oz in the Evaporator.

The problem I'm having is that I'm Not Holding a Vacuum.


With no Freon in the System yet, , ,
How can I Test for a Leak ???


Thanks All ! Any help Greatly Appreciated !!!

I would like to see a install on a 67 to 72 c10
