vintage air vs old air products?

[Ricks1971]

Getting to the point where I need to get the air and heater for my 71 project. I would like some feed back on these two systems from you guys. vintsge air and old air products. I heard that the vintage air you lose your glove box and have to go to a small radio. any feedback will help! thanks Rick

My truck has the Old Air system and it works fine, although I think it needs a recharge because on those muggy NJ days it barely suffices. Then again, that could be because I only have front air and Burbs have about 75,000,000.00 cubic feet of air to cool inside them. The leaky windows and lack of carpet in the rear don't help either...

I have contacted Old Air and found them to be responsive. You may want to ask GMCPaul, as he sells the systems and seems to be knowledgeable.

Oh, and I still have the big glove box and an aftermarket Sony stereo. The blower motor is inside the passenger compartment though, which makes it kinda loud.

I have a order in for a old air system with my part man. Sounds like a good system. I will find out.

Probably not the reply you want, but I am going to install an Old Air on the 70 Project. However, I have some time before I get to that point. Fortunatley for me, a buddy of mine is a distributor/rep for Old Air. The parts appear to be top quiality, and the service I have received has been nothing short of the same. I ordered a kit with the Vortec Heads (for the A/C bracket). However, the bracket supplied in the kit was for the traditional iron heads (non-vortec). Within two (2) days, the right bracket was sent w/o question. As soon as I get to the point where I have it hooked up, I'll be sure to post some pics in my build thread ("Mean Green Bob County"

Have a great one!

Nice install! Where did the glove box insert come from?
