Vintage Air’s Gen II and IV systems use fully electronic microprocessor-controlled servo motors to manage the operation of those doors, which allows them to travel further. Heat is absorbed through evaporation and dissipated through condensation (change of states).” In this application, removing the stock heater components on the engine side of the firewall requires removing the inner fender panel.Īt one time, OEM and aftermarket climate-control systems used cables or vacuum motors to control the doors that directed airflow in the evaporator case-both systems had limitations due to the limited movement of those doors. As Rick Love of Vintage Air explains, “refrigerant absorbs heat as it changes states from a liquid to a gas in the evaporator and then dissipates heat as it changes from a gas to a liquid in the condenser. What makes this all possible is the refrigerant, commonly known as 134a it’s a high-pressure liquid on the high side of the system, and a low-pressure gas on the low, or suction side. Cooled air comes out of the outlets while the heat is carried to the condenser in front of the radiator. Basically an A/C system takes in air from the passenger compartment into the evaporator where it is passes across a coil assembly that absorbs heat and converts humidity to water droplets (that’s why the evaporator case has a drain hose to the outside of the car). On the other hand, air conditioning is more complicated it cools by removing heat and humidity from inside the vehicle. The heater portion of a climate-control system is relatively simple hot water passes through the small radiator like a heater core with a blower motor to warm the passenger compartment. The SureFit systems for 1966-19 ’67 Chevelles is offered in two configurations: one for cars with factory air, and the other for those without, as shown here. Fortunately, we don’t have to suffer due to Mother Nature’s whims no matter what we drive, thanks to Vintage Air. When the weather turns cold, it’s even uncomfortable for brass monkeys. Riding around on a hot day without A/C can feel like you’re in an oven. Of all the additions that can be made to any early car for passenger comfort, a modern climate-control system has to be at the top of the list.
