Hey Maverick,
Factory A/C from what I'm told works very well. Nothing will top an original vs.
aftermarket in appearance or function. List member Roger Howard and I are both
attempting to install Factory A/C on our '59 Plymouths. I would recommend
getting several pictures of your make model with A/C. Also make sure it has the
same engine size,engine accessories, etc. I would also recommend converting to
134a refrigerant. Factory A/C is somewhat difficult to install on a non A/C car.
You must have alot of patience and time to do it right. It can be done though.
You may have it alot easier since your evaporator assembly mounts in the trunk.
You won't have to modify your firewall and Roger and I did. You just have to
make sure of all the engine compartment stuff. Hope this helps.
Take
Care,
Frank

I have a question for
the group regarding Air Conditioning. I am considering buying factory A/C for
my '55 Desoto. Does anyone have a car with factory A/C? How well does it work?
Is it recommended? Would I be better of with an aftermarket A/C setup?
