1949 & Older Indash Heat and A/C System

Complete universal a/c heat and defrost system for 1949 and older Chevy Cars or streets rod with Chevy V-8's.  This is a 12 volt kit, we do not carry and six volt a/c systems.   This kit is designed to hide behnind the dashboard, using vents that go in or under the dash.   This kit can integrate the factory cable operated controls, or you can use the rotary knob style controls that are included.  If you wish to use the factory control panel please see below for more information.  The kit will hook up to the factory defrost outlet under the dash.  The glove box will not intefere with this system, and the firewall will not require any major modifcations (Firewall will need holes for the hoses).  We carry an assortment of firewall rings, and bulkheads for a clean firewall presentation.

Using your factory controls is not a problem, even if the vehicle was heat only.   You can send us your control panel to be integrated into our a/c kit.  We can adapt any original panel and have it shipped back to you in 48 hours.  The control panel will be rewired for our system, the only wiring required with this setup is an ignition, ground, and binary / compressor switch.  All the leads will be ready for you to hook up.  This kit will work on any car older than 1949 with a 12 volt system.
