1982-88 Monte Carlo/El Camino Evaporator Kit Installation 

These kits will only be used for the application listed, if there was another kit for the mailbu's it would be a separate kit made at a later date. cosmetically there are similar but when it comes to mounting all the components there will be deviations.

The best way to find a dealer nearby is to visit our website www.vintageair.com then click on the "distributors" button. then enter in the first three digits of your zip code and a list of nearby dealers/installers will pop up.

We used Dynamat Xtreme part # 46135-VIP we generally use all weather 100% silicone caulking. Also its best to insulate the entire firewall to keep hot air from infiltrating the cabin. In the instructions it shows the insulation only on the firewall cover (inside) but the vehicle would greatly benefit with as much insulation you can install.

@@va197653 thank you for your response

Honestly, probably better. OEM vehicles use hard plenums that take some pretty long paths not to mention the reduced airflow through a cabin air filter. Our units will generally have a simple duct hose that are routed for the best flow path. and not a cabin air filter to reduce the CFM.

for any technical assistance please reach out to our technical support team at 210-654-7171 or tech@vintageair.com and they will help you get this figured out!

I don't see why not, just make sure to leave the drier caps on until you are ready to install the AC system.

yes Cutlass, Regal and Grand National on the way.

@@williamgraf8944 Great! As soon as the kit drops for the other gbodies ill be the first to place down an order.

Vintage Air released the Regal/Grand National kit. My Regal has a juiced-up Buick 455 and needs extra room up against the stock AC box. The vintage air G Body Regal kit is the perfect solution and really cleans up my engine bay. My high-performance, Stage 2+ 455 Regal will EAT UP a Grand National! And it has wonderful working vents, heat, and AC for those hotter days, too! Install of the Vintage Air system for Regal currently in progress as of Jan 2023

So far we have only confirmed that it will work for the Monte Carlo and El camino.

They are the same.

@@focused313 rumor has it the vents are different

@@SkinnyPedalMotorsports I’m subbed to your channel for a while now did you ever install this?

I am currently doing this project on a Regal. NOTE: It is IMPOSSIBLE to remove the inner fender well without cutting into the wheel well to access the bottom-most bolts attaching it to the body (Under the factory AC box). Plan to do a little plastic welding, patching, or cut very neat holes and use rubber body panel/floor plugs to close them up when done. On a regal- most steps are very similar. The trim pieces and dash inside a regal have slight variations, but if you can safely take apart your dash, you'll do just fine. The vent set up is generally the same and the Vintage Air kit for the Regal should have all the vehicle-specific connections and fittings

Unfortunately no, we do not offer a model specific kit for this vehicle. However we do offer a few universal type units that will fit in just about any vehicle, to get started please reach out to our sales team at 210-654-7171 or sales@vintageair.com and they will ask you some questions about the vehicle and help put together a kit that will best fit your needs. The best way to locate an installer is to visit our website www.vintageair.com then click on the "distributors" button then you would enter the first 3 digits of your zip code and any nearby dealers will pop up.

If you call them they sell it individually. It’s around $200 if I remember correctly.

Unfortunately, we do not perform installs

the only kit that is different between the turbo and non turbo applications is the condenser kit due to core support deviations. all other kits within the complete kit the same (turbo/non turbo)

Vintage air website also shows 2 different hose options (get the new hoses, for sure) - one for the turbo and one non-turbo. Get the correct one for your application. My Regal lost the 6 cyl decades ago and now rocks a Buick 455 big block...but my original set up was non-turbo. I got the non-turbo hoses and condenser and everything is sized perfectly. The condenser install is dead-on and fits perfectly. The evaporator kit is the same for Regals across the board. Regal interiors/dashes are different from the Monte. Follow the instructions that come with the Vintage AC system and use this video as a supplemental guide.

The complete kit part # is 964332

Unfortunately, we do not perform install's. If looking for an installer please visit our website www.vintageair.com then click on the "distributors" tab then enter the first 3 digits of your zip code and any nearby dealers will pop up.

It figures there isn’t a distributor near NY state

Yes, These units come standard with AC/heat/defrost

@@va197653 one last question..what if our air compressor is on the opposite side of factory...can we get custom length hoses?..I'm installing a custom mid mount serpentine kit for my Chevy 305..5.0

@@Santos-qn2ob Yes we can do that but if you wanted us to make you custom hoses we would need some kind of a sample to work off of. or you can purchase one of our universal hoses kits and it will come with hoses in bulk (by the foot, uncrimped) and a various assortment of fittings. you can use this kit to route and mock up the hoses and fittings that works best with your setup, then send us the hoses and fittings (mocked up) and we would properly crimp them and send them back to you.
