I'm snooping through this site http://www.nostalgicairparts.com and it's obviously majority of nothing but older rides aside from a few modern. And it got me thinking if these underdash or indash setups (i.e. Camaro or Pontiac) had to be engine specific? I'm not too knowledge-ated on A/C systems, but I would imagine that I could run a factory A/C Comp. off of my V6 and the factory condensor and just buy one of these small A/C Driers they sell for like $15, run all the lines together and get it straight-wired off of 12v? Aside from vents and all that jazz. Someone spit some knowledge my way on this if I'm not fully correct.

i did one in my buddies 2000 S-10. I was a total whore and it barely fits. Ya, you are suppose to be able to use the factory compressor, and condensor but used T.B.I. and would not recomend. Been 3 months and still can't get the right fittings to adapt to the factory fittings. Any ?'s hit me up.

I called Vintage Air and they said that I could use my compressor and condenser but the controls won't work. I would have to use their A/C controls. Does anybody know how to hook it up with the factory s-10 A/C controls?

try hot rod air, the whole deluxe kit for $875 and some change, and you send your hvac controls and they wire them for you.
