Aftermarket A/C

[maxsandman]

I watch this with interest.........

only speaking from (recent) hot rod application.......
vintage air seems to be (very) minimal? is that it? being Friday i've had 27 bourbons, minimal application & minimal success. Being hot rods, minimal room for condenser, minimal room for compressor, and minimal room for ducting. The result (vintage air) MINIMAL RESULT in a very small area.

I have information that aftermarket kits (where you cut the glovebox) but then use the (genuine) ducting behind dash works very well on HQ-Z's

As I have 20+ Holdens to drive, and being the wrong side of "OLD", I am keen on making a plan to be comfortable when driving these QUALITY vehicles....

Please carry on.....

cheers

Max,

EXTREMELY interested on how this set-up you mention about the aftermarket kits using genuine ducts actually works.

Can you provide any information?

Thanks

You can get ones that you don’t need to cut out the glove box. Fan sits in front of the console and uses some of the original vents.

wbute,
very interested in what you've found out
could you please share?


I've actually found part of the installation instructions on the dealer fitted A/C, but am struggling to make sense of how it actually works - I think I'd need to see one in the flesh as I think it needs different ducts as well?

I'll post them up, maybe someone can help me in understanding how it fits..
