Having grown up on the Gulf coast I feel for you with no A/C.
There will be a lot of additional expense with this kit as you will need a compressor to engine mounting bracket and a pulley for the crankshaft. I'm sure you will find several other parts are needed. And then I assume you don't have the ability to install it yourself so you will be looking at a large labor bill. It could easily cost $2500 in the end.

 

I have a couple of 2 groove pulleys laying around so that’s not a problem. I was thinking of just fabricating my own mounting brackets like I did with my alternator. I also plan to do the complete install myself as I’ve done everything on the car. The engine is a 289 that I built myself to swap as it was originally a 6 cylinder so I do have some mechanical knowledge.

 

Maybe it’s cheaper to buy a dead original system and do the needed changes to use current freons? I did buy an CAA system, yes was expensive, over $2k, but works great and can be serviced everywhere.

 

Make sure your alternator is powerful enough to run the condenser fan. Or maybe skip the fan.

The hoses and fittings are absolute junk. Be sure to get a leak detector.

 

My suggestion is to buy an original ford underpass unit. I had a vintage air underdash in my falcon and it tucked. I bought a used 65 falcon ford underdash take our and restored it. The ford unit works so much better and is a lot cheaper. I often times see complete underdash ford take out systems for $150-250 on market place.

 

Well

I have a center console so I was planning on using separate vents that I routed myself. If I can get around that I’m not opposed to restoring an original unit.

 

I have an after market AC out of a Mustang, albeit it was on the big side

I also have a Ford cast iron compressor bracket, that will fit a 289.

I am in the Dallas area, and shipping would not be bad

Underdash is $50 and compressor bracket is $30

I live in the swamp (Slidell LA) and I could not imagine being in the wife's 67 without AC.
I agree that AC is a requirement for summer driving I wish you the best of luck on your AC installation. Happy Fourth of July..

 

All of the AC parts are available individually on CJ Pony parts. I'd recommend locating an OEM under dash unit that you can clean and recondition. make sure the motor works and that that its functional. I would disassemble, flush the core and install a new expansion valve. I'd then get the necessary brackets and get a new Sanden compressor. You will need a drier and condenser. There is a AC kit for the hoses or you can crimp your own. Obviously you need may need to upgrade your radiator and fan if they are not up to the task. Vacuume leak the system and charge with R-134. Plenty of videos and instructions online outlining the process.

 

Find an OE underdash unit (I wish I did). Also I don't think those hoses will seal. And when you have to redo those, I don't think you're ahead.

 

I have a 1967 Coupe. Has a 1987 5.0. It is not show quality but I enjoy driving it. I wanted to AC it. I also did not want to spend 2K+ on a kit. I had put a Classic Auto air in a 1967 Camaro. I had also put AC in a 1958 F100 that had a 2010 Crown Vic 4.6. Using the CV compressor and then the other parts from Jeep Air. I saw an add from Qualy Air for a heat and cool kit for around $600. Just got it in. Actually, seems to work good. I don't know how long it will work but at the moment it is good. I have a Frankenstein serpentine belt system. I had to make my compressor mount. Moved my alternator from the right side to the left. I have power steering, so I had to make a mount for the alternator. I got the hoses crimped at a local Carquest. I had to buy a couple of hose fitting for the way I ran the hoses. 3 relays for the wiring. 2 cans of freon. A pressure switch because the one with the kit leaked. So it was less than $700 total for the AC
