Not sure if this has been asked before...but I have a 71 Challenger that had factory A/C which all of the under hood parts are off the car. I was wondering who makes the best kit to install new modern A/C that looks the most stock. And will it work on a car that has a 440 sixpack in it. Is there room for the compressor? Thanks

I know of those was just wondering which one fits better and if they will work with the six pack.

My customer looked at both Vintage air and Classic Auto air.
'
Vintage Air won out primarily because the under dash box has all electronic servo controls., no vacuum and no cables to worry about.

Underhood resembles stock( barely) but it does have that stock flair look to it with the molded hardlines and I painted the compressor black to help it blend in.

If I can fit it on a Hemi, a 440 six pack should be no problem
