A/C restoring

[onebadmaverick]

Anybody got a classic with a/c that needs restoring, like compressors, plenum boxes, hoses, and so on?

[Dano Moparo]

I need to get the under hood pieces for mine. You doing that kind of work?

[onebadmaverick]

Yeah, is your car an original a/c car? and does it still have the complete system or is it missing some things?

[Dano Moparo]

Factory AC. I rebuilt the evap housing when I did the interior. Got the last (so they say) evap from Classic in Tampa when I did it. A friend of a friend told me I could have all the under pieces he had a while back. I never took him up on it, mainly becasue I just havent seen him since. Summer is comming, and that's one of the last few things I need to do. I need every thing under the hood except the water valve.

do u want to stay all original or would u not mind using aftermarket.? for example, would u want an original RV2 compressor or would u not mind having a sanden-type compressor, also,what size engine u got?

[Dano Moparo]

I got a 383. I don't care if its not OE parts. I'm not real hip on putting the OE RV-2 comp on it. Damn thing uses about 35hp, I got plenty to spare, but those things also weigh a ton too. I've seen those Sanden setups before. They look good, does the setup you get use the factory brackets?

[onebadmaverick]

u will have to use a mount kit to run a sanden. they r suppose to take less than 10 hp to run.

[Dano Moparo]

So how much can you put the kit together for?

I may be interested, do you work on imports? I have a 1973 280sel 4.5 liter that needs A/C resto.

[onebadmaverick]

the 73 280 sel shouldn't be a problem, does it have the complete system?
and as for the challenger, u said u need everything under the hood, right? let me figure out how much i can get everything for and i let u no soon. were u gonna install it ure self or were u gonna have a shop do it?

[Dunecune442]

how much for the chevelle stuff

[onebadmaverick]

Hey Dano Moparo, sorry, Ive taken so ling to get back at you,man, but Ive been really busy lately but I have been trying to see if I could get a better deal than what Ive found form other companies out there. Couldnt do it. But I did find this company that im sure you will be interested in if you havent found it already. http://www.bouchillonperformance.com/ They got everything you will need for a really good price. If I were you I would also call Classic Auto Air and see if they can do better. Sorry, I coundnt be of any more help...... Thats why I like sticking with the original factory stuff, its much more simple.

[Dano Moparo]

yeah Classic is prob what I'll end up doing. Thanks

How much do to my '71 Torino? The compressor, condensor, evaporator, and all lines are still there.

[onebadmaverick]

Are you looking to do the entire system or just a few components?
