for a/c.....i like the stock front vent setup and would install the factory parts before going with the vents under the dash. as for the rear....you all can have it. my dad's 87 has rear a/c and it has been the biggest limiting factor in putting big things in the back. if i was going to have rear ac, the ducting would all be tucked up above the headliner with flush mounted vents, not that bulky monstrosity. the 90's trucks had a much improved rear ac unit that doesn't take up as much room (its in the right side panel). air conditioning is nice even up here in new england in the summer time, but my 72 burb doesn't have it and it will stay that way for the foreseeable future.....many other more interesting mods to make (big sway bars, trailering equipment, etc).
