Vintage Air Question ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anyone have any pictures of the engine compartment where the new Vintage Air lines run through? I want to see how much space is there compared to the old.

Are you talking about through the firewall or through the core support?

Bram · 08-20-2004, 03:53 PM

The firewall, sorry I should have clarified that.

if you take a look at the firewall on the left, you'll see some aluminized insulation material sticking out. That's the hole the vintage air unit uses. The unit uses a plastic shield that mounts over both holes. The hoses go through a raised box where the hole in the insulation is that's about 5x5 and protrudes maybe three inches (these measurements are all memory). I don't have any pics of it before.

Thank you, thats what I thought. It really free's up alot of space.

Thanks

Yes, it does. I've had a plate welded over the hole on the right and the round hole where the squirrel cage was. I'm not a clean freak on the firewall, but those are some big holes where noise and heat can squeeze through.
