You’ll get thru it man good job!!! I’ve been dreading doing vintage air but AC is a must in Vegas. A few weeks ago I looked up the instructions and saw all the problems you experienced and Im in the process of taking out the duct and mounting that bracket too cause I got my firewall kit from Tim too.
I installed one in my 1963 impala last year. Make sure you got all those rubber plugs out of the evaporator. I missed one and had to remove the whole evaporator out from under the dash. But once its in, you will be so happy.
Ed P Thanks for the advice, I got them out, the first one scared the crap out of me lol, I didn’t know they had a bit of nitrous charge 😆 I can’t wait to finish up the install 👍
Whats up @redrocket, Damn that sucked after all was already put together! But you got it down pretty good. Im gonna install this kit also on my 63 so big help knowing to cut that defrost out right now that my dash is still bare!
I appreciate the detail and dont mind the video being longer than usual because it's great info. I'm gonna have a shaved firewall in my 63. Seeing how the lines come thru your firewall, could u go over how you would install the system so the lines dont have to go thru it? I'd like to have mine go thru the fan blower hole inside the fender if possible. Great vids bro!!
No problem, yes you’d just have to run a a/c bulkhead inside that area and run custom lines from the evaporator box to it, then run your lines behind your fender well 👍
Hello…(sorry I don’t know your name yet) I watched all three segments of your Vintage air videos. First I want to thank you for doing the video, unlike so many others you are clear at each step, I learned so much about this. I have a 64 Malibu SS that also went through a frame off rotisserie restoration shortly before I bought it. Unfortunately it’s not working out as well as yours seems to be. The 64 Chevelle air controls are very similar to yours but are not working properly and the amount of air coming out of the ducts are not even close to yours so I am going to attempt to get into it myself. After watching your videos I’m fairly confident I can do this. If I need technical help would contacting Vintage air directly be an option ???
No problem, Im glad the videos helped! Contacting vintage air is definitely a option, seems like your issue is with the on/off switch, when you turn the switch on it may not be sliding completely over to the higher blower motor setting. Check to see if it may be getting caught on something.
Hey, I watched several more videos of your 64 impala build. Great job, hope you’ve been enjoying it. On my 64 Malibu I have several emblems to install. What would you recommend as a rust preventative after I drill holes as I don’t want rust to start.
Thanks for making this video. Where did you find your grille? I am having trouble finding one that looks like that (chromed or polished without the black lines).
Did you cut/grind the bolt heads on the 3 bolts welded to the firewall plate? I’m finally at this point in my build and have a shaved firewall as well - any info would be greatly appreciated!!!
I hope so, I’m ready for it, I use iMovie app on my iPhone, it’s easy to use and it’s free, I’ve tried others but seem to complicated to navigate through, hope that helps, I’ll checkout your channel 👍
I think I made a mistake I drilled out my holes for the bulkhead that I purchased. Without buying the vintage air system. Can you help me out with Some measurements where I should place the bulkhead
You can run a custom bulkhead on vintage air which is what I’m assuming you bought, the purpose for those are to hide the a/c lines behind the passenger side fender. Then you’ll have to run custom lines from the evaporator box to bulkhead under the dash. Make sure you buy the made to fit kit like mine to run the a/c lines behind passenger fender well. Hope that helps 👍
I don’t know what accessories drive you’re running, you’ll need a belt to turn the A/c compressor, as far as difficulty, 10 being the hardest, I’d say a 5.
Stephen Dudla mine is a 2017 I actually just bought a new shallow pan, gasket and filter off of a 2016 Chevrolet ss it’s pretty much a rebadged Pontiac G8 it’s all AC DELCO pets, I’m waiting to get it back from chrome to make a video, it’s really shallow, the filter part number is AC delco 24252158 It’s supposed to be a direct fit, not sure if your in a hurry but if your not you can wait till I install it just to make sure it fits.

Nice work, I just ordered my kit yesterday. Coming in clutch lol
Ha! Perfect 👌
Thanks for the video and all the other videos. I’m doing the same exact build but in a ‘61
Awesome, it’s hard to beat the body lines on a 61!
Dayum that shit is so clean
@@TiK2theToK thank you 🙏
Thank you
Always good information from you 👍
Your video helped a ton. Thank you.
Nice and cold classic!

Do you remember the 4 holes you cut in the fire wall what size hole saws they were?
Not off the top of my head, not sure if I mentioned it in the video.
Yep, I will be doing this before I finish assembling the car
😎
Thanks for making this video. Where did you find your grille? I am having trouble finding one that looks like that (chromed or polished without the black lines).
Yes sir, it’s the stock grill, I got it chrome plated locally.
Did you cut/grind the bolt heads on the 3 bolts welded to the firewall plate? I’m finally at this point in my build and have a shaved firewall as well - any info would be greatly appreciated!!!
I did not cut or shave the heads on the bolts 👍
@@RedRocket64 good to know - thank you!🙏
Red Rocket that AC gonna be ❄️. Hey what video editing system are you using? I just started up my resto channel.
I hope so, I’m ready for it, I use iMovie app on my iPhone, it’s easy to use and it’s free, I’ve tried others but seem to complicated to navigate through, hope that helps, I’ll checkout your channel 👍
Red Rocket 64 thanks! I’ll check it out.
Great video homie!

Hey mate what fire wall kit did you use? Did it already have the holes for the ac system
It’s just sheet metal, I made the holes for it 👍
Hey I've looked up the vintage AC and there's a couple different models do you remember which one you bought
All the ones I'm seeing have that stupid under the dash vent and I don't see a defroster vent
Hey do you think it would be possible to retrofit this AC kit to fit a '83 Cadillac coupe DeVille
how hard is this install on a scale of 1-10, and do I have to get an accessory belt drive system?
I don’t know what accessories drive you’re running, you’ll need a belt to turn the A/c compressor, as far as difficulty, 10 being the hardest, I’d say a 5.
What year trans is your 6l80e im looking for a filter that will fit my shallow pan also is it from the corvette as well
Stephen Dudla mine is a 2017 I actually just bought a new shallow pan, gasket and filter off of a 2016 Chevrolet ss it’s pretty much a rebadged Pontiac G8 it’s all AC DELCO pets, I’m waiting to get it back from chrome to make a video, it’s really shallow, the filter part number is
AC delco 24252158
It’s supposed to be a direct fit, not sure if your in a hurry but if your not you can wait till I install it just to make sure it fits.
@@RedRocket64 yea i got the G8 pan and filter but the spout for the filter was in the wrong location so I'm on a search for a filter lol
Nice bruh
Thank you 👍
Do you have a part number for this kit
@@williamaguiar14 vintageair.com/1964-chevrolet-impala-with-factory-air-surefit-complete-kit/
Isn't their a totally self contained vintage air unit for under the dash?
Diy type of guy Yes there is, look similar to the old 60s Chevrolet style.
@@RedRocket64 wouldn't that have been less fooling around?
Diy type of guy Yes, just comes down to personal preference.
I like the OG vents with tissue dispenser in center.
Where did you order the kit from?
Last minute customs in Houston Tx

The red rocket not only hot it is cool know.👍🍒🚀
