Vintage Air Conditioning - Project Get Shorty
|
10.A key advantage to the Gen IV is the shape of the unit is ideal for vehicles with high transmission tunnels and stepped firewalls, like the '71. Because the evaporator is a stepped design, the bulk of it can rest against the firewall and the trailing end can rest along the tunnel. However, in order for that to happen in the '71 I needed to fabricate a few mounting brackets. I first cut out a plate to match the rear Vintage Air bracket. Then I welded legs to the new plate to push the unit off the backside of the firewall nearly 21/2 inches. From there I lined up the holes on the VA bracket and my bracket and drilled holes so I could weld bolts through the backside of my plate. View Related Article
