A/C System

So I'm needing some advice. I have a 71 cheyenne super with factory air. The system is complete. The only thing I've replaced is the compressor which was missing when I bought the truck. I'm debating fixing the factory air system or replacing it with a vintage air system. Any thoughts?

I like similar-to-factory air. I went with Original Air. I want a functional glove box and functional engine compartment evaporator casing and blower. Here is my experience. https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=790246

In my experience, the compressor is the weak link in the factory system.

If you truck is mostly original I would try to retain the factory system and possibly convert to a new Sanden compressor.

The vintage air will get rid of the fiberglass box on the firewall and everything packages nicely under the dash. The vintage air system I had worked great and I will definitely install again, but not in an 'original' truck.
