Luke, are the right angle hard lines part of the kit? I ask because the V/A installations I've done run the heater and refrigerant hoses through the firewall into the interior. An accident waiting to happen, IMO, especially with heater hoses. |

Mike,
The V.A. "sure fit" systems includes everything needed to replace a factory A.C. system, so yes the right angle hard lines are part of the kit. I have the same version in my build & the 4 lines run through the firewall with a supplied cover plate. when I did my '72 I used a "universal" kit setup & I did what you have done, I felt the same way, although I did not connect the heater hoses (I'm in the desert and it was a show truck). I would feel comfortable to run them how V.A. instructs to do it. I feel V.A. is a quality system with many satisfied customers. I am on my second system personally & very happy. hope this helps.:metal: |

Been awhile so I thought I’d share a few updates. Swapped out the brakes to a new set up, changed to blue interior, manual T56 swap. More pic to come later today.

I'm doing an L86/8L90 swap in a 93 and an 84. In the 93 I used Dirty Dingo adjustable motor and transmission mounts and they worked out great. There's not issue with the tranny tunnel and the factory headers as well as the factory gear selector mechanism bolted right in. I also used the holley LT mid-mount setup and it looks great, pic included. Any suggestions on what brackets to use on the 84? Will any of them work with 8L90? Am I going to have to find a high hump transmission cover? Sorry for all of the questions, but appreciate any advice that you can pass on. Take care, Rob |
