I notice that you keep skirting the issue of "how much did it cost"....come on man, just a ballpark is all we are asking. We have all spent much more on other items. It won't be a shock to us.... "more than 200 but less than 2000" would be good enough for me
You can do a aftermarket system under $2k. Shop and learn at the link I have provided. Dan http://www.classicair.com/Custom.asp
Well aftermarket unit 1200 - 1500 for complete system minus freon. the 134 cools good if you have electric fans, flex fans will not produce enough air flow to get good temps. You can do what I have done and use a complete evap system and ducts from a different vehicle and install inside and make connections throught the firewall with some bulkhead fittings. I have taken some GM ac units and cut up the box and fabricated them with a plastic welder and installed in a truck me and friend of mine built. I will say this if anyone catches you using r12 and letting any out in the air they can get as much as 20000.00 reward from epa so be careful when using R12.
After two days without a working A/C in the truck, I have decided A/C is a MUST for the Mav. I'm thinking about a factory evaperator, factory condenser, with custom lines around the back of the engine to a sanden style compressor. I had thought of a York style compressor, but the sanden unit is smaller and looks good polished....
let's put it this way...she wanted it...she got it...she is worth it. i LOVE Her Berry Berry Much!!! ...Effies friend Frank... $1100
That is a decent price, and looks good too. I wouldn't mind that same compressor or one similar size, but mounted down below the alternator so the lines run straight back to the firewall, and not over and around the top of the engine bay...
I wont have a heater...I am going to install a hillbilly style ac system in my car. A small remote controlled window unit in the back seat area. It will be quiet and COLD. No hoses and compressor brakets or freon to deal with, and no back seat drivers either.
This was a year ago...sheese i'm slow. http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=24842 It really doesn't look too much different cause I had alot of other more important issues to deal with. This project will eventually come through, one day. I have it all planed out...
Phil I got the condenser kit ( hoses , dryer , condenser , low presser switch ) from AAPAK enterprises 1845 w. grand ave phoenix az. ( 602 245 1116 ) www. aapak.com . The guys there mix and match the parts i wanted the condenser is a 4 pass . I bougth the parts listed above for $207. in 2006 . Some of the parts in the kit i did not use and had to buy others like fittings at the " H '' block . fittings on the compresser . If you have any other ? ask thx jay
There are some pic in my gallery but none for the condenser install or engine compartment close ups will try to post more later this week jay
