Default Heat and AC

When I bought my 65 I got only a stripped shell. After 45 years it is now back on the road with new metal, new chrome, new drive line, 93 302 HO engine with some mods, 3.92 gears, Wilwood 12" brakes, 17" AR500 wheels, etc. but no heat or air. Not even the ductwork under the dash. I talked to Nostalgic Air at a show and was impressed by the price and their attitude. I have also read about a few others. Anyone got anything they really like?

I have found that aftermarket heat/air combos work pretty well, but the quality is not the same as OEM stuff.

Good enough, yea, do I and will I use them? you betcha, but they are not the same as factory stuff.

I considered Classic Air, also. I have no idea if one is any better than the other. Why did you chose Classic over the Nostalgic Air system? Thanks.

I've never heard of that company. I've only heard of vintage air and classic auto air. I went with the full in-dash system

I bought a vintage air system, but it's still sitting in my shop taking up space. If I could only get some time to work on it ....

How do you like it and how difficult was it to install?
