I just installed electric ac in 70 mustang. Have not tested it yet . I tend to research items after I spend my money. This is another example of that. Price was good, but it’s all custom install as in making and crimping lines and fabricating brackets. A guy on you tube put one in a Monte Carlo. The cooling results were not great. I now wish I would have spent the money on an after market belt driven kit.

Another thing to consider is the amp draw on these.
I researched them while replacing the AC unit in my 71 Ranchero and found the smallest draw was 80 amp's continous.
I though that was way to much draw on my electrical system.
