EVERY VEHICLE IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT, DEPENDING ON THE:
1. TYPE OF VEHICLE/ENGINE AND LOCATION OF ENGINE.
2. TYPE OF AIR CONDITIONING EQUIPMENT USED.
3. OWNER’S PREFERENCES.
THERE ARE MANY FACTORS THAT GO INTO MAKING EACH AIR CONDITIONING INSTALLATION
DIFFERENT. USUALLY, ALL OF THE ABOVE DECISIONS ARE MADE BEFORE ANY CONSIDERATION
IS GIVEN TO THE AIR CONDITIONING INSTALLATION. THE A/C SYSTEM IS THEN TAILORED TO FIT
YOUR PARTICULAR APPLICATION.
THE MOUNTING LOCATION OF THE EVAPORATOR UNIT IS DETERMINED IN PART BY THE SPACE
AVAILABLE FOR THE HOSE ROUTING. THE COMPONENTS USED IN THE HOSE ROUTING PROCESS (I.E.
BULKHEAD PLATES, FITTINGS, AND GROMMETS, ETC.) WILL ALSO INFLUENCE THE LOCATION OF
THE EVAPORATOR UNIT. WHEN PLANNING YOUR HOSE ROUTING, YOU MUST INSTALL THE MAJOR
COMPONENT PARTS. MOUNT THE COMPRESSOR, CONDENSER AND DRIER. THE EVAPORATOR
MUST BE TEMPORARILY HELD IN POSITION UNDER THE DASH. FINAL MOUNTING OF THE
EVAPORATOR TO THE FIREWALL SHOULD NOT BE DONE, UNTIL YOU HAVE VERIFIED THAT ALL HOSES
ATTACHING TO THE EVAPORATOR WILL EXIT THE FIREWALL AND/OR KICK PANEL AS PLANNED. THE
HOSES MUST BE RUN EXACTLY THE WAY THEY WILL BE WHEN FINISHED, BEFORE CUTTING THEM TO
LENGTH.
DUCT HOSE ROUTING AND A/C VENT LOCATIONS SHOULD ALSO BE GIVEN CAREFUL CONSIDERATION
BEFORE FINAL MOUNTING POSITION OF THE EVAPORATOR IS SELECTED.
THE VINTAGE AIR SLIMLINE UNIT WAS DESIGNED FOR STREET RODS, CUSTOM CARS, AND TRUCKS. THE
EVAPORATOR UNIT IS DESIGNED TO MOUNT BEHIND THE DASH.
READ THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY, AND FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH ALL THE
PARTS AND ILLUSTRATIONS.
THE INSTALLATION OF THIS UNIT VARIES, ACCORDING TO THE BODY MANUFACTURER OR
MODIFICATIONS TO THE ORIGINAL BODY. THE COWL VENT MAY REMAIN OPERATIONAL. TAKE YOUR
TIME, AND DOUBLE CHECK BEFORE DRILLING OR CUTTING.
BEFORE BEGINNING, REMOVE COWL VENT HANDLE AND GLOVE BOX TO EASE INSTALLATION. IF THE
DASH IS EASILY REMOVABLE, REMOVE IT NOW. CHECK FOR, AND FILL IN ANY HOLES IN THE FIREWALL
AND FLOOR. INSULATE AND SEAL FIREWALL, FLOOR, DOOR PANELS, AND HEADLINER TO REDUCE
THE AMOUNT OF HEAT ENTERING THE CAR. FIGURES 1 AND 1A SHOW THE GENERAL LOCATION OF
THE DEFROST DUCTS. LOCATIONS WILL VARY. IF YOUR UNIT IS EQUIPPED WITH THE DEFROST
OPTION, INSTALL THE DUCTS NOW.
