I'm wondering about this myself. I did see the Death Valley experiment but for $1k more, not sure if it's worth the money. Not many reviews on this product either and I'm hoping somebody has done or will do a comparison between RM, VA and CAA.

I would like to see that as well. I did go to Restomod Air site and says $975 for their best system, although controls etc may add up to considerably more. They also have a nice looking dfive setup.

If you look at the address of Classic Air and Restomod Air they have the same address listed on their respective web sites. I called Classic Air and requested a quote for a big block 1st gen Camaro perfect fit kit and was told that they only offer the perfect fit model with the heater lines behind the RH valve cover.

I DO NOT want my heater hoses behind the RH valve cover so that leaves a universal fit system which apparently allows you to locate the heater hose where you choose. It also appears the Restomod systems do not include a compressor or condensor in their kit pricing.

Are there any other retrofit AC systems other than Vintage Air, Classic Air and Restomod?

Hey everybody this is Jon with Restomod Air. Although we do use similar evap housings as our sister company, the mounting bracketry/hardware, the internals, the fan and the controller integration is in a completely different solar system. We use a variable speed blower motor and fully customizable accessories that can be made to order. Check us out on www.restomodair.com or send me an email.

Would you mind posting a pic of your evaporator coil? Is it integrated with the heater core and if so why did you choose that design?

I just bought 2 bulk heads from Restomod great quality! I am in the market for two units one for a 68 and other for 69 Camaro. I would love to see some hose routing pic's of both Vintage and Restomod. I am also looking for ease of evap mounting due to both cars having smoothed fire walls. Any info would be great!

I have the vintage air setup, If you look starting at post #47 you can see how I modified my factory brackets and added some garage made aluminum brackets. I have the smooth firewall.The bolts are thru the inside cowl, not on the outer firewall. It is rock solid when bolted tight.

It seems like there should be more responses to this thread.

I'm looking at a/c systems and need to make a decision in the next month and get it out to my fabricator.

The Restomod one does look better.... but $2K for an a/c system is kind of a lot. http://www.restomodair.com/shopprodu...l-factory-air/

Anyone else have RM, CAA, or VA systems in their cars.... feedback please?

Mine is a turbo LS motor. My fabricator can make up the lines from the compressor/condenser and heater hoses.... I already have the Holley setup compressor/mount... I really just need the under dash items/blower/controller.
