Re: Stock AC vs aftermarket AC

My 72 had factory air and now has an LS1 with f body accessories. I removed the compressor as it conflicts with the frame... now I'm at the point where I'm ready to look into AC. I understand that the stock variable compressor will not work. So it looks like I'll need a sanden compressor with the kwikperf mount.

The Vintage air kit looks great but it sure is spendy. I still have most of my original AC setup (condenser, evaporater, etc). Can any of this be re-used or do I need to go to an all new setup for R134?

Yes you can use the factory box but buy new parts to run 134-A. Mine runes great. I have a LS 6.0 LQ4 in mine now.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
