WATCH THIS Before Buying Or Have Problems With A Vintage Air AC System 

I bought their surefit system for my 91 Camaro. Didnt have any issues with it... works great and was easy to install. Damn good quality

great video! i would suggest pressure testing the system with nitrogen prior to vacuuming the system down. you can hold a vacuum but still have a leak when it is under pressure.

I'm way proud of you. Bless you and yours. Don't stop at my house in Alaska. Only because I'm awkward. Or bring a keg, we'll be fine. Smiley face emoji

I just got through putting the Gen 5 system in my '56 F100. So far it's doing a great job. It's right next to getting in the green zone on my thermometer and it's Great. I don't think that I could stand it any cooler.

I called vintage air after watching this video this weekend . I guess I’m nervous because I just spent a lot of money on this system for my truck . It’s not here yet so I asked them what’s up with that . Dude assured me it would be fine . I hope so .

So far every system I've done on vintage air, I just put 2 cans and they all work amazing. Drove my 69 camaro from baton rouge to Miami setup like that and worked like a modern car the entire time. Even had to turn it on the lowest setting cause got so cold in the car haha. On 90+ degree days mind you.

Makes me miss my old k5s. 😢 solid video. Kinda glad I stayed away from AC stuff in my c10, I don't want to many fancy amenities 😂

Nice job on the install. Did you change the bulkhead on the firewall?

Crescent Wrench Garage actually pretty good name for ur new garage shop luv Squarebody K5 Blazer looks slick lowered

Good looking blazer. I seen it in Nashville at GMTT today. How'd it perform on thectrip from FL

I think the kit from LMC truck might be better? But you’re definitely spot on with the pressures. You definitely need to check your low side and high side pressures especially on a hot day. It also depends on when you installed it. If you installed during the winter time your low and high side pressures will change.

I have the same system in my 85 silverado It would freeze you out for 30 min or so then stop cooling . its the little multi switch next to the passenger side headlight area i jusy hot wired the compressor so i can turn it on and off with a switch on the dash cause it wont cycle on and off on its own for some reason. I keep a thermometer in the vent and i cut it off when it gets too cold. when its hot out i can leave it on almost all the time but in the spring i have to turn it off and on a lot. I know thats not the right way to fix it but it keeps me cool. The condensor on these systems is a dual flow dual pass type so it does the same job in less space thats why its so smaller than the original. If it cools really good at initial start up it should continue to cool at the same performance rate . be sure the fan schroud is in good shape and fan clutch is operating properly

We had a similar problem in a Falcon wagon with a 331 stroker and an AOD. Ended up changing the trans cooler out with Derale remote unit with a fan. Problem solved.

May not keep you cool in summer, but sure as hell looks cool 👍 here’s naive me, thinking with all that room you could fit any AC system in there!

Great fun 🎉

I lived in Miami for 5 months around 1999. I got home sick.

Bro it's FLORIDA.I put a MONSTER SHOP FAN In the Back on a Power Inverter 🤩

I had this problem untill l went to a large straight drive flex fan not the electric ones

I use Classic Auto Air because of some of the issues that you mentioned. Everyone just goes with Vintage Air first and there are other options out there.

That is a fantasy tool for your A c line

try they were made for r12 sys you need to put r 690 freon in it

I worked at Bike Tech as a mechanic. Good and bad moments

You’re not alone, I have cooling issue with my VA in my 67 c10. It seems to do well in town but on a road trip the compressor cycles off way too much. My temps only reach a low of 47 then work their way up to 50 before coming back down. I’ve been chasing this problem for over a year. I’ve taken to three shops hoping they could find something I couldn’t but no luck. One guy is even a VA dealer. What vent temps were you seeing prior to the condenser swap? I will most likely order that oversized condenser and see how it works out for me. Please report back and let us know if you solved your issue. Please add a link to the condenser in your description. Thanks

I just got back into watching your channel regularly I love your road trips an the line of trucks you have but my boy you gotta stop using that crescent wrench I know you're using it just cause you don't want to have to switch out tools if you don't have a rolling tool kart get one it was painful watching you take off the AC lines with the crescent wrench but keep making killer videos bro

What condenser is this?

Real ac manufacturers size their equipment and things have to match. They need the right capacity condensor no matter what size car they make it for.

Let’s just throw parts at it. That sounds like a great idea. Have you ever gauged up well running down the road? Probably not. I suggest you also get a PT chart.

You would think you’d be able to use a factory condenser
