I'm not a fan of recirculated only HVAC either. It is the reason I will go with an upgraded stock system when I get my truck together. With no fresh if you ever want to drive in cooler weather you only have defrost with A/C on. No fresh and the cab fogs/frosts up almost instantly without the A/C pumping to dehumidify. That is a power and fuel sucker. There are a few months of the year here where you heat in the morning and run A/C in the afternoon. It's not a winter thing. I drive a lot of highway and no I'm not cranking the windows down at 75 MPH all the time.

I doubt the A/C lines in the kit would come out the stock holes in the box so you might have to drill for new locations and maybe route the heater hoses out of the other holes or otherwise get creative.

It could be done and would give the illusion of factory A/C or a more factory appearance. You won’t be fooling many people but I doubt that’s your intention. There are some vehicles that don’t look quite right when you get rid of something so characteristic so I can see why you’d want to do this. I personally don’t like recirculated air very much and will be avoiding Vintage Air in favor of updating like those who posted above.
