Aftermarket Compact AC system

Featured Replies

So any trying to track down bits and pieces of factory AC systems for my 78 Brat, I came across this.

It appears to be a all in one self contained unit. It is small, cheap, and sounds like exactly what I want.

 

GOAL: To have working AC in my Brat.

 

Is anyone familiar with something like this?

Do I need anything under the hood or do I just hook a power line up to it, mount it and enjoy a nicely air conditioned Brat?


 

 

Yes, you will need to have a compressor, condenser, hoses, and a drier in addition to the evaporator you linked. Wiring is simple, usually just a fused power wire to the evaporator control and a wire from the evaporator to the compressor. If offered, it is better if the compressor wire is installed thru a low pressure switch.

This would be nice to have one day! So I'm commenting :ph34r:   As of right now I'm still trying to get the guts to pull my dash off to see why my heater won't work. I think a linkage on one of the switches broke.   

Always thought a Vintage Air Gen II Mini system would be ideal for our older models: http://www.vintageair.com/index.asp

 

Completely replaces the existing heating set up, adds air conditioning and is small enough to fit under the dash and be completely integrated and unobtrusive.
