aftermarket A/c installs

anyone care to post up pics of their aftermarket a/c setups? install pics would be greatly appreciated. I'd like to see how much room these units take up under the dash/glovebox, and passenger footwell.

Thanks-

Eric

Re: aftermarket A/c installs

There's a link in my signature to a Vintage Air install I did in my truck.

Re: aftermarket A/c installs

thanks, both of the links and the build thread showed me most everything I needed to see. My install should be a little easier because I won't have to deal with mounting a compressor (engine swap). main thing I didn't like was the location of the drier, but that's an easy fix.

Re: aftermarket A/c installs

How big is the heater core in these aftermarket units? Much, much smaller than stock?

Re: aftermarket A/c installs

Here is my install of a Classic Auto Air kit. They are based out of Dallas. It is a fairly small unit and I have several pictures in my thread of the install that show the size of the unit. I liked it because it was mostly hidden by the dash-nothing that hangs down.
