Has anyone put in a under dash AC unit sold by Nostalgic Air in a 55 or 56 fairlane? if you did what problems did you run in to? If you had a problem did they make it right? there kit includes everthing except the r134 for $674 I like the price but maybe sounds to good to be true

I put a "Vintage Air" unit into my '56 Customline. ait is an in-dash unit and worked out well. Have you looked into their units?

Vintage Air has a AC compressor mount for a Y Block - I have one on my car - unless they discontinued them.

I believe I got the bracket from "Southern Rods". It is a combination alternator/ AC bracket and the compressor mounts below the alternator. I used a GM (sorry guys) 1 wire alternator but I will admit the set-up needed quite a bit of tweeking with various spacers to get everything alligned correctly. I think that "Gearheads" is also making brackets for Y-blocks, but maybe just for the power steering pump set-ups they sell.

back to my origin post I know that Nostalgic Air has the comp mount /what I want to know has any one did business with them/ were they satisfied with the kit? If there was a problem did NA make it right? $680 just seems a little low for the kit/
