Re: Convert AC

[Ollie <satellite1965@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a Vintage Air heating/cooling unit in my 65 Satellite. It is a 
Sandair compressor. It will freeze you out or burn u up depending on the 
mode. It is a very easy installation. Take out your original unit.....trash 
it, .bolt in new unit with brackets provided. A bit of fab required. Had to 
fab some adaptors to use the original defroster vents. (I have the dash pop 
up units for defrost and air,  as my car was  factory air.) Their adaptors 
hooked up to the kick panel and crotch cooler vents. If you don't have these 
their below dash vents are ok. Bouchion Performance has the brackets and 
pullies you need for the compressor. Hook direct to battery,  1 wire, with 
provided fuse link, and you are good to go.  You will need a couple more 
holes in the firewall, factory connections will not line up. Mount the 
controls inside the vehicle....mine are in my dash, I have seen them in the 
glove box...... after mounting dryer, condenser and hoses.......vacuum pump, 
add Freon...
Start your engine my Mopar friend, Turn the unit on..enjoy the cool air for 
a few minutes........as u watch the temp gauge climb...oh my.......they did 
not mention this in all the sale brochures....!!!
Time to cure your engine temp problems.........me...3 years later....custom 
built aluminum radiator, custom cooling fan, performance water pump and 
thermostats, holes cut in the hood under the hood scoop......100 amp 
alternator.....mines running cool......mom's happy and I am in a constant 
nervous sweat watching all my gauges....
In answer to Gary H.....if mom does not want to ride in my classic Mopar... 
w/classic air, 4 windows down, wing vents open..leave her at home....IF mom 
must go........buy a new Challenger and lets both ride in modern 
style......with AC, stereo, heated seats and all the amenities....it will be 
better in the long run!!
Good luck with your AC installation......
Ollie.....this has moved way past $.02 ....its now worth $50.......cheap 
when you consider all the money you will spend on your AC....
