WHo has the best value for AC systems

Post by cfassett87 »

Getting tired of sweating like crazy or freezing my butt of when I drive the '69 for any distance. Any guidance on where to get a good new heat and AC system for a '69?

There are several aftermarket systems out there depending on your budget. AC only are the least expensive but will require you to keep your stock heater box and system. Complete heat/AC/defrost systems are the most complete but also the most expensive and replace the stock heater installaton. Here's a few I've looked at...

or you can often find "universal" under dash only units on Ebay.

I would go with the classic auto air system if you want air and heat. Here is a link to check out.
