As I have been daily driving my hot rod in the fiery heat of south Georgia I have learned to appreciate air conditioning, so much so that I have installed it in my car. To fund this I sold a truck with a blown up engine, my previous daily.
The parts:
Vintage Air Gen IV underdash evaporator
Sanden 508 compressor
bracket sourced from Nostalgic AC for my 383 Chrysler engine
condenser sourced from Nostalgic AC
hose kit sourced from Nostalgic AC
O'Reilly manifold gauges
custom new alternator/coil bracket (bent bar stock and threaded rod)
10 inch electric fan; currently tied in with only the engine fan, but a trinary switch will be gotten eventually
The system works, I just got it going and the true test will be tomorrow as I will assume it will be hot n' sticky outside as usual. The compressor only causes a 50 rpm difference on the huge engine so a throttle kick-up is not needed although normal acceleration is slightly affected. I will upload more recent pictures tomorrow.
