TMCP Podcast- Episode #144!
August 17, 2012

Here's a shot of the Gen IV Vintage Air kit for my '64 Chevelle. The under dash unit is fairly compact, and the kit comes with absolutely everything! My kit was a kind of a mix-and match setup as I ordered the kit for a factory dash vent application (I will run factory vents), but since my car was not originally an A/C equipped car I'll use the non-factory A/C controls.

    This week's podcast show guest is Rick Love, Executive Vice President of Vintage Air. Vintage Air is the true "granddaddy" of all of the aftermarket heat and air companies and they started out in the '70"s making kits for traditional hot rods. As time marched forward (and the concept of a "comfortable" hot rod caught on) they added on a Tri-5 Chevy lineup, and then moved onto the muscle car segment. While there may have been a time when "real" muscle car guys yanked out A/C systems to save weight and horsepower, today there's no need - the systems are now extremely light and require next to nothing to operate!
