Very interested in your Air installation,. Vintage Air has some great components including unobtrusive under-dash units and brackets for mounting compressors...
best!

Yes, Vintage Air does offer some nice hardware. My installation, which is still a work in progress, will be an almalgam of Vintage Air products and an original Rover Delenaire (sp?) in-cabin evaporator/blower unit. I've rebuilt the evaporator, installed a new expansion valve, and leak tested it. Also had to rebuild the blower motor and fit a new resistor to get the 3 speeds for the motor.
Under the bonnet will be the Sanden A7 compressor (already installed), a Vintage Air condenser, along with the other stuff like hi-pressure cut off switch, receiver drier, hoses and fittings, etc. The 'under the bonnet' arrangement won't be of much use to anyone else because it will all be unique to the Ford V8.
I've made space by eliminating the heater box, something I don't need here in SoCal, not only because the weather never gets all that cold, but because the 300 hp Ford motor cranks out a lot of heat. Even though I insulated the passenger's compartment well, it still gets hot in there.
But should you be interested in what I'm doing, I'll be happy to post some photos as the work progresses.
Cheers,
Tom
