Thread: Custom Heater & AC housing

Tweet

There is an alternative....After doing a number of these fat fendered, skinny cowl cars if I ever do another one the A/C and heater components are going to be a rear mounted unit. Space under the dash gets to be at a premium with just the electronics and electrical stuff it takes to run an EFI engine. Vintage Air sells one, getting it for my '57...or get a rear AC and heat unit out of a van......

Thanks everyone for all your advice.
I put this question out there because I figured there were other paths than aftermarket.
You given me some reasonable options.
1) If I were to go the rear air route, would it be difficult to mount the HVAC unit out of the 1995 Roadmaster in the trunk, instead of buying another rear one from a van? Probably overkill, but I do already have it.
2) There also seems that there is a lot of room under the floor, has anyone mounted a unit under the floor and duct all the way up to the dash for defrost, or would the unit not work well outside the cab area?
Thanks
