which ac system to use

I was wondering which ac system to use, old air or vintage air. I would like to know the pros and cons of both systems. Also I was wondering how to get a pitcher on the avatar. Thanks.

Re: which ac system to use

I have a Vintage Air sure-fit system on both of my trucks. They are very complete kits that anyone with basic tools should be able to handle.

Re: which ac system to use

I have the Hypercool, AC/Heat/Defrost system on mine. It eliminates the box on the firewall completely. Nice and smooth. I did not install this one the PO did.Heat and defrost work great so far. Have not needed to try the AC.

Re: which ac system to use

I'm going Vintage Air myself. Most of the other people I've been following are doing the same.

are you runnin a ls1/t56 or just the t56? the reason i ask is the ls1 compressor will not work properly with the vintage air system.... althogh oldairproducts is coming out with there complete system compressor, brackets (ls1 style), and all need stuff. for about around 900-1000 $ not bad at all. not sure when its gonna be released, according to them about 2 weeks ago, its being installed in a donor vehicle for testing and clearence issues....

Oops, I mean Classic Auto Air. I'm running the LS1/T56. Classic Auto Air is a direct boltup. Here is what one of our forum members did - same year truck as mine, running the 6.0 LQ9 and T56:

If you have the image you want to use on your computer, then hit browse and double click on the pic. You'll probably have to shrink it.
