Thank you for purchasing this evaporator kit from Vintage Air. When installing these 

components as part of a complete SureFit™ system, Vintage Air recommends working 

from front to back on the vehicle, installing the condenser kit, hose kit, and compressor 

first, followed by the wiring, evaporator, and finally the control panel.
