Anyone put a Vintage Air unit in a 68/69 non-a/c Plymouth B-body? Where do the vents come out? Any dash cutting required?

With a non-a/c dash you will have vents below the dash just like classic. Here is a pic of my classic vents.

I put a vintage air setup on a 1970 Cuda.with non air dash
and IMO the biggest detrement was the no upper center vents. All the air was to low and would frost your lower extremities before your upper body felt cool .

if I ever do another one, I will use a factory air dash

In any non-a/c car the aftermarket vents that mount below the dash are used just like in your car. Both Classic and Vintage. An a/c car you could use the factory vents except an A body. Those vents are below the dash but I don't think I'd used them. Kind of part of the factory box.

I've got Classic Auto Air coming for my '67 Barracuda convertible. I've also got factory AC ductwork. My goal is to mate the two so it looks more original.

I don't care for Classic. Their micro switches are junk and a [censored] to change. Also the line routing in the motor bay really looks added on. I ended up making up my own lines. Vintage has a much better box setup and their line routing looks a lot more like the factory lines.

I have a 67 Coronet non-A/C car. It is time to put A/C in as down here in the desert it gets very HOT!. A friend recommended Restomod Air. What is the difference between Restomod Air, Vintage and Classic? Are they all good and do they work well? Price difference? It will need to work in 110 degree temperature so it needs to be good and will last a while.

Thanks ahead for any input.
