classic is the one who sells the perect fit A/C
for ebody DO NOTBUY IT nothing but problems ... nothing lined up ...wrong brackets--wrong dryer location-
poor instructions- wrong connections on hoses- with wrong angled connectors --- poor customer service... wanted to return entire unit after 20-30 calls to customer service ---

I used it on a 65 b body.
About 3 years ago I think. Did not have the problems described. But I used the universal kit.
Their customer service was very good to me. Shipped stuff out to me overnight when I found I needed something else to complete the conversion.

Again it was a universal kit, so I expected some things to be missing or not quite right.

The Coronet has Classic Auto Air in it. Easy install, ice cold. B Body. I was at the Shop and they do high end stuff down there in Tampa on Kennedy Blvd. Don't know about discounts. Price was fair.

Several years of good cold trouble-free service. Feels good in Reno in August. There is an e body install somewhere on the web with detail. Could be cudakid or similar. Good luck.

Back when I worked in a street rod/musclecar shop we only used kits from classic unless someone just wanted the vintage air name. It's good stuff from what I've seen, I didn't have any customer service problems since they were only about a mile from us at the time.

I'm putting one of their A/C kits in the Dart when the time comes, I can't beat the price even if I use stock stuff.

Had the same problems a few years ago. When I wanted to return the stuff cause it wouldn't fit they wanted to charge me a 20% restock fee. I filed a dispute with my credit card company. They will never get another dime from me.

I called about flushing, pressure testing and straightening the fins on a evaporator and the same plus painting on a condenser for my 70 Charger. The price was 90 on the evap and 180 on the cond. My local shop charged 70 for both less paint. I had no shipping charges either. I thought they were high. I can do the work for that.

Bought the perfect fit set-up for my 66 Belvedere II. Had trouble with the fan switch fitment. Service department acted like I was the only one that ever had a problem.

I didn't know so many had problems with them. The only option appears to be Vintage air. I have a 68 RR so maybe I won't see the Ebody issues but it is alot to spend if things aren't right. I understand how that would upset folks. I would be too! Thanks guys

"Bouchillon under the hood" --- would agree with that statment but bouchillon likes you to keep the stcok a/c heater box under your dash ... if not you have to buy one from classic or vintage
if you do that the piece meal set up will cost you
a lot more .. trust me thats what i am doing on my 2nd install on my charger... bouchillion does a great job but dsnt have the total solution..

Ask Tim NAS Backyard on his classic kit. From what he told me it went very well. He did have an issue which was resolved on the compressor mounting bracket kit. I plan on using them. Dont count on any discounts.
