Re: Vintage air install?

Its not that hard to do. I did mine in a couple of evenings of work. Hardest part of the install was drilling out a hole in the radiator shroud.
Read and reread the instructions then go over the thread for the install and you will have no problems doing it. Oh and if by chance you drop and loose the green oring on the ground like I did, the auto parts store has replacements.
