| | | AC help | Joined: Nov 2017 Posts: 2 stranger | OP stranger Joined: Nov 2017 Posts: 2 | I know that nobody makes a direct fit kit for Chevy/GMC G vans, but I'm wondering if any of you have had any experience using an aftermarket AC kit. I have a 1978 G25 with dealer installed AC, but it's shot and I would like to replace the whole set up if possible. Any advice? Thanks

If you understand the basic principles of how the systems work, and are good with your hands, you could make one work. It would be nice if you can add a rear a/c unit too...a van is a BIG space to air condition. | | | Re: AC help | Joined: Sep 2013 Posts: 1,015 Likes: 19 old hand | old hand Joined: Sep 2013 Posts: 1,015 Likes: 19 | I don't remember the guys name, but he was at the Nats with a White Shorty this year. He had a full system from Vintage Air on his Chevy that came without AC originally. I would get a hold of Vintage air and tell them what you are doing. I've heard very good things. | | | Re: AC help | Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 9,855 Likes: 234 carpal tunnel | carpal tunnel Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 9,855 Likes: 234 | Another place to contact..... https://www.restomodair.com/product-category/custom-a-c-systems/Be prepared ..... you're probably looking at a couple of G's counting labor.

Get the compressor brackets and pulleys, etc... from a junked vehicle with your same engine. Mount the underdash unit on the ceiling behind the driver and passenger. Chills from above!
