Do you have the brackets to install? In some GTs I've seen a long bracket that attaches to the evaporator as opposed to the Lark type brackets. It appears to aid in keeping the dash from cracking as it's 'glass. I haven't put the A/C in my '64 GT yet so can't help with dimensions & my buddy's GT w/A/C is all packed in the garage . Can you get info from the templates available through the Forum resource? Rob in PA.

Sorry I don't have pix, but if I could find the brackets I'd mail them to you. I likely threw them away, along with most of the rest of the OEM AC stuff.

Looking at your pic, if you move the unit to the right about 2", to where the upper left corner of the unit just kisses the edge of that lowered, driver's side corner, then raise the unit to about 1" below the wide, flat surface of the lower dash, you are right on target.

Thanks for the reply. It looks like the right fender vent lever would have to relocated then.1936 Dictator

Doing so to someone desperately in need of said parts is doubly cruel.
Repent and seek forgiveness.We hypocrites of the "brotherhood of gathered deteriorating rusty parts" await your absolution.

However, if yours needs to be bent a little, it will easily bend anyway it needs to go, just like a can lid. You'd have to bend it back & forth several times to break it. I bent, even contorted the heck out of the one on the 62GT to accommodate the EFI harness, which I chose to bring through the firewall right behind it.Last edited by JoeHall; 07-24-2013, 09:34 AM.

That would be my guess, though the other type clears just fine too. This one does not have the crook on the end that goes into the hood lip when raised. It is also a couple of inches shorter, which causes the hood to sit a little lower when propped open.
