Re: 1965 Ford Mustang

As I mentioned earlier, I wanted to keep the car as factory looking as possible... well, screw that. The factory A/C has gone out. Turns out the compressor is knocking and the clutch is in poor shape as well. To replace those parts, buy a new condensor/dryer/seals/fittings to convert to R134 after I replace the compressor will run me around $800. Not to mention the fan in the underdash unit sounds horrible, AND when I used the heat system this past winter it SUCKED. The fan sounded horrible, there was hardly any flow, and the heat didn't feel all that hot. My C10 has had a VA kit since 2006 and it's awesome, so I ordered one for the mustang to eliminate all of that old crap. I've also read the old York compressor can suck up to 15HP running, you can literally feel it kick on and off when it did work. You can't tell when the Sanden compressor kicks on or off on my C10.
