Complete universal A/C heat and defrost system for 1950 and older Ford Cars. This kit is designed to hide behind the dashboard, using vents in or under the dash. This kit can integrate the factory cable operated controls, or you can use the rotary knob style controls that are included, or upgrade to our billet control panel. If you wish to use the factory control panel please see below for more information. The kit will hook up to the factory defrost outlet under the dash, it will also hook into factory vents if your vehicle has them. If you do not have vents, we can include aftermarket vents. The glove box will not interfere with this system, and the firewall will not require any major modification (Firewall will need holes for the hoses). The kit includes grommets to run the hoses through the firewall. If you are interested in a bulkhead see our variety in the hose kit and fittings section of the site.
Using your factory controls is not a problem, even if the vehicle was heat only. You can send us your control panel to be integrated into our A/C kit. We can adapt any original panel and have it shipped back to you in 48 hours. The control panel will be rewired for our system, the only wiring required with this setup is an ignition, ground, and binary / compressor switch. All the leads will be ready for you to hook up. This kit will work on most cars 1950 and older.
The kit includes:
- Evaporator kit with expansion valve and mounting hardware, four grommets.
- Duct hose and louvers
- Controls to use the original control panel, or knob controls
- R-134a Hose kit (See hose kits Page for contents)
- Black O-ring drier with drier straps
- Condenser with condenser mount kit
- Sanden Style A/C compressor with clutch
- Compressor mount kit (to fit your engine)

This is a complete A/C system that will include all the parts necessary to add A/C except the refrigerant to charge it. A radiator fan or a condenser fan may be needed depending on your current setup. The evaporator unit is manufactured by Nostalgic AC Parts in the USA. The aluminum billet controls use vacuum from the engine.
Please provide engine size, year, and if the engine is from a car or truck in the comments section of checkout.
