I'm getting ready to redo my setup on my 454 BBC. I do not have factory A/C, and I'm running a stock v belt setup now. I'm wanting to install some type of air conditioning, and a serpentine system at the same time. I've looked at a lot of systems, and I know that Vintage air would be the complete package known to work together. But want to see how others have put in a A/C system with other serpentine belt systems from manufactures like March, Billet Specialties, ect. I would like to keep the interior as factory looking as possible, and under the hood to look like a candy store. Lets see what you've put together!

Re: Best air conditioning and serpentine belt setup
Same here, I've been looking for a system for a year now for my '69. There doesn't seem to be the ''correct'' system for a short water pump set-up. I've been considering making my own, but who has the time and money for that? You can go with a set up for the long water pump but that can entail installing an electric fan assy-----personally I do not want to go that way, good luck to ya

Re: Best air conditioning and serpentine belt setup
I used a GM Performance kit from Summit Racing for around $800

Re: Best air conditioning and serpentine belt setup
I put Vintage Air for the A/C and Eddie motor sports front runner on my big block, it comes with A/C compressor Eldelbrock water pump and all the brackets and belt.

Re: Best air conditioning and serpentine belt setup
Most of the serpentine kits I've seen have a a/c compressor included, how do you keep from buying the compressor twice.
And, how close was the mounting location of the a/c compressor in the serpentine setup compared to hoses supplied with whatever brand of ac kit you have? |

Re: Best air conditioning and serpentine belt setup
I bought my a/c system from Old Air Products and I had them to delete and credit the compressor because I used the one with the GM Performance front runner system. So you won't have to buy two.
