Smile Re: Original A.C or Vintage Air

Getting a straight answer from you guys is like pulling teeth! Ok I am asking, in a daily driver, do the aftermarket systems work as well as factory? Meaning, here southeast Texas on a cool winter morning going to work, it's humid so my windshield is fogged up, give it some defrost, fog is gone. Turn defrost off, turn heat to about mid range, down the road a bit it's gets a little warm, turn heat down two notches it gets too cool, back up one notch it's perfect.

Do these systems have that kind of control or do you sacrifice because the firewall looks good? Nothin wrong with that, just askin. I'm spoiled!!

I have vintage air and here is my take:
A/C and defrost is good, not perfect, but beats sweating all summer in this georgia heat.
The heat is ok as long as you turn the vent louvers toward the floor, defrost works good summer and winter.

Like others have already said, factory is best, but tough to do if you don't have a complete system to start with, also i my thoughts also you had better be a good A/C man.
