Re: Thoughts on Gen 5 Vintage Air Install
Great info in this tread. What are you guys doing with the kick panel/cowl vent doors? Just keeping them permanently closed?

Re: Thoughts on Gen 5 Vintage Air Install
They are still usable. The passenger Vent door can't be opened all the way, but it can be opened enough to work.

Re: Thoughts on Gen 5 Vintage Air Install
My truck had factory AC, so the passenger kick vent and cowl vent had vacuum actuators on them. I read through the VA install and didn't see if and where they were reused/integrated into the new system. Only the drivers side kick vent had the manual rod to open/close it.

Re: Thoughts on Gen 5 Vintage Air Install
Maybe you could replace your passenger vent door with one from a non-A/C truck. Here are some photos

Re: Thoughts on Gen 5 Vintage Air Install
Thanks for the pics. I see why the vent can't be opened all the way, that is a tight fit! I think the doors are the same, I would just need the manual linkage.
