Hi folks, I am going to make the leap into air conditioning my 64 valiant. After reading for hours on this I have come to the opinion that I do not want to undertake a factory type set up. I looked at an underdash unit but I think that would be a bit tight under there with knees and such. I found that Classic Air sells a complete kit, cooling only, I Live in Florida, that mounts in the trunk. It looks like the least complicated of anything I have seen. Has anyone had any experience with one of these. I dont really need the trunk space anyway and other than some lenghty refridgerant lines I dont see a downside. The air blows from the back to the front but thats ok with me, i don tlike it blowing in my face anyway. Any comments are welcome..thanks, Mark |

Sorry, but I can't give you any feedback Mark. Surely someone will though. It's an interesting concept though so keep us posted on which way you do it, good luck with it. Gary |

Your A/C can be built into the dash, but it's not exactly easy. In a non-convertible, you could get by with a smaller unit and only the vents below the dash. http://www.slantsix.org/articles/vintag ... ge_Air.htm |

As far as I know, there is no A/C unit that is made for the 66 and older "A" bodies, that mounts behind the dash. A different unit would have to be adapted in. One of the problems on the early "A's" is the wiper linkage gets in the way. I have a 64 Valiant that I was going to use to try and make a kit, but just haven't got arount to it, yet. But, yes you can use a trunk mounted unit. PS: I don't reccommend getting a compressor mount from any of the comercial A/C dealers. They do not work well on the slant six, in an "A" body. Either fab up your own, or buy one of mine. |

Mark, one other thing. Check with me before buying a condenser. I have several in stock that are the correct size for a 64 Valiant. I needed one for Lou's 64 Valiant, and no one had the right size in stock, at the time. So I went to the warehouse, but had to buy in quantity of five. Good possibility I can give you a better price, then some of the other suppliers. |

Will do Charlie. I believe the package I looked at had the condensor in it. Ill check and see pricing without the condensor and if it affects their warranty if I go with a different one..Mark |
