When “later model” cars and trucks from the 1950’s and up are modernized or hot rodded, they usually retain most of the basic factory sheet metal, body, and interior features. This allows us to engineer “vehicle-specific,” complete systems we call our SureFit Series kits. The ever increasing value of these later model cars and trucks further demands we engineer these kits to be installed using primarily the factory-drilled holes and brackets to maintain the vehicle’s value. In some cases, very minor adjustments or an extra small hole may be required, but this is because all auto manufacturers made changes to their vehicle assembly designs during production runs. We always try to minimize any required vehicle alterations. SureFit kits also offer the most complete and straightforward installations possible. Our award-winning instruction booklets and carefully engineered system packages should make your SureFit installation job simple, fun, and very cool!
Our SureFit kits are designed to place the evaporator case and air duct hoses behind the dash for a clean factory-air look. In many cases, the SureFit system will be controlled by your original OEM dash controls using our patented “Electronic Cable Converters.” In some applications, a new factory-look control panel is included with the kit. Some early truck kits must use additional switches. All SureFit systems provide full OEM-style operations, including air conditioning, floor or vent exit heating and a powerful dehumidified defroster. To retain a true factory look, the A/C air exits through the factory dash louvers, when originally equipped in your car’s dash.
The under-hood components are designed to mount to stock engine bolt points (although we can accommodate many custom engine swaps). In most cases, the condenser assembly mounts to the stock core support. Again, because of production design changes, you may need to modify some mounting points slightly. Each SureFit kit features many components designed by our engineers specifically for each make and model application. Components such as pre-formed aluminum lines, condenser mounted drier, engine compressor mount brackets, and a replacement glove box insert give these systems a clean, finished looking installation. The best news is, because our entire SureFit evaporator/heater case is mounted inside the car behind the dash, the firewall/engine area of your car or truck is cleared of those big, ugly factory A/C housings! Each SureFit kit contains a factory looking, vehicle-specific firewall cover panel to seal off the opening left from the removal of the OEM system and provide refrigerant line and heater hose routing.
The Vintage Air SureFit kits are the best value and the most completely engineered air conditioning systems you can install in your classic car or truck.
