Harrison Under Dash AC Unit
My 68 has this installed. Has a GM plaque on it. I believe it was dealer installed. Sticker says Harrison Air Conditioning, Lockport, NY. General Motors Corp. EBA-154A-69. SAE AIR-60. Can anyone tell me what the numbers mean? Thank you.

Re: Harrison Under Dash AC Unit
I've got a similar one like it in my shop in the corner. I ended up installing a vintage air system in my 70.

Re: Harrison Under Dash AC Unit
From what I came across when I was refurbing mine was it identifies your AC evaporator box and includes the date code and SAE number.

Re: Harrison Under Dash AC Unit
I have the same one, but mine's missing the labeled plate for the knobs. Wish I could find one like yours as well as a replacement vent!

Re: Harrison Under Dash AC Unit
I don't have that unit in my truck, wish I did! Personally think it completes our trucks interior! That look is

Re: Harrison Under Dash AC Unit
Has anyone updated this system with a newer compressor and new hoses? I need to get mine working again, and was hoping to upgrade these parts. Any suggestions - the hoses clamp on instead of threading on?

Re: Harrison Under Dash AC Unit

different fan speeds?

Re: Harrison Under Dash AC Unit
I have the same one in my truck...Like to get it going some day.
I would also be using a newer compressor.

Re: Harrison Under Dash AC Unit
The alternative to an A/C cab conversion! Hooking up a modern compressor and hoses shouldn't be to difficult.

Re: Harrison Under Dash AC Unit
It looks similar to the one that was in mine:
Mine wasn't really a quality piece. |

Wish I could help you out with this. My OEM compressor has sprung a leak near the back seam and I lose 134a quickly. Will be visiting my local AC guy soon for a solution; most likely a new compressor. Will ask about aftermarket stuff and let you know. BTW, 98 degrees here today with 55% humidity. Did someone say sweat factor?

Re: Harrison Under Dash AC Unit
OK, sorry for the delay but, the dealer was very backed up with work and just got my truck back today. Here are two shots of the replaced condenser. Needed a new dryer as well. Came with a 12 month, 12K mile warrantee. Hope this helps.

Re: Harrison Under Dash AC Unit
You should be able to get the inner glove box out ok. I got my new glove box in and out a few times without too much trouble. I had to remove the g.b. door first of course, then I think I compressed the box top-to-bottom slightly, and rotated the box out gently. If I'm not mistaken, I think I pulled the right side out first (side closest to pass door), then pivoted the box toward the driver side until I could slide the left side out. Kinda had to work with it gently so I wouldn't tear it up. All of that was done with the underdash unit still in place. Hope this helps, let me know how it goes...

Re: Harrison Under Dash AC Unit
The elusive "dealer-installed AC!"
I saw one in 2004 but didn't know what it was. It was installed on a truck in Charlotte, NC. |
