A/C options - 81 C10 Non A/C cab (LS Swap in progress)

[shawn57nomad]

Need real world suggestions on the 3 companies - Vintage Air, Old Air Products, and Classic Auto Air.

I am going to add A/C to our 81 C10 while I'm doing the LS swap and floorplans.

I assume from the web searches and all of the YouTube University certifications I have acquired to date, that Vintage Air is the most available and used.

What's the overall consensus? I want A/C and don't care about Bluetooth and Apps, but serviceability and longevity.

Thank you all in advance.

They require lots a juice…

Another option is making the system up yourself based on the sanden compressor.

I already priced that out for my crew cab. It was cheaper than vintage air for the same stuff plus separate rear heat/air controls and vents.

I'd build my own engine driven system with OE parts. But here's a guy who did electric saw the downfalls and figured out the upgrades.
