Default Chevelle AC packages

I thought it would be easy to choose an add on AC system. Boy was I wrong.
Theres the

Classic Air system
Vintage air system
Old Air Hurricane 1000

I have been tying to do my homework for this purchase. Any input would be much appreciated.

If not these systems, any suggestions ? We are seriously looking to put AC in my car before it gets warm and I would love to hear any positives or negatives about systems that you have or know about.

I have vintage-air, but it's not installed yet. Quality looks very good, kit looks very complete, and the instructions look very easy to follow.

Ive done considerable research on this topic and have concluded that I will be purchasing the Classic Auto Air kit. Keep us posted.

Just curious as to why you chose this kit over the others ?

It was exactly what I wanted, easy install, with quality parts. They have spent over a hour on the phone with me already and I havent bought the system yet.
Ive got a factory a/c car to start with.Im justdoing the under hood upgrade(compresor, condensor, lines) Your application I beleive would be a completly different system.

Ditto that.
I recently got a killer deal on a brand new Vintage Air kit for my '67 at a local swap meet.
Brand new...still in the box...$350 cash.
I've been looking for someone to install it...can't swing it right now. I do have the compressor hung.
