Suburban Vintage Air A/C

[MAC71]

My Suburban originally had rear air but before I bought the truck everything except the plastic housing in the rear over head was removed.
Spent a few hours looking at the Vintage Air catalog on line and was thinking that the slim line A/C unit would fit well in the factory housing. Any one ever do this before? Any ideas on how long of hoses I need to by?

Been thinking of doing the same thing....trying to get some measurements from someone who has their rear ac unit out...then compare to what VA has and try to make something work back there....

Looking at the split of AC lines going to the back from the engine compartment, there is ALOT of hose

Did any of you guys do any kind of additional insulation or sound deadening. I am getting ready to start a Suburban project. I just completed a 69 Camaro project using the Vintage Air stuff. I used Fat Mat on the floor and inside of the body panels. The car is much more quiet and I am sure it helps with the heat and AC. I understand the Burb is a much bigger area but also believe good insulation is a big plus and helps in the heating and cooling
