Restomod vs Vintage Air

[SMC2224]

I’m looking to install a completely new system. I know VA has good reviews but I’m wondering if anyone has experience with this restomod kit? It’s a bit more pricey but is much more modern. Also I’ve read that it has a more powerful blower which would be important since I have a crew cab with no rear vents. Any suggestions?? I’m in Indiana so summers are very humid. Id like to keep the driver side mount with v belt. Other kits on there too but I imagine they’re not as good.. thanks

No experience with it but the first picture of the restomod kit the blower motor and controls for the dash look same as vintage air.

Currently I own neither but plan to install the VA kit on my '77 and upgrade the factory system on my '90 CC. I've been in a couple trucks with the VA system, both the previous Gen 4 and Gen 5. I believe the Gen 5 and restomod are very comparable in performance. I think the old system was probably a bit inadequate on a cc on a summer day.

On my '90, it is a complete, functional system but is a bit anemic in a crew cab in Phoenix. After TT a few people on this forum and locals, I believe I can achieve the modern performance with the factory system by doing some compressor, condenser, upgrades.

Additionally, both of my trucks have Lizard Skin sprayed extensively and dynamat on roof.
