Okay, here is a few updates.
Here is what has been done so far. I have the evaporator, fan, condenser, and dryer installed. Don't worry I took notes and pictures and when I have time I will be doing how to's with pictures and my opinions. Also while I have the dash apart I have been adding a little sound abatement to the fire wall and dash.
Some of my opinions so far, for those who care, lol.
The kit is not made specifically for our trucks. I have read and now believe that the kits is existing parts put together to make a kit for our trucks. They give you the parts they think you can use to complete the install. The problem is you may, in my case I do, need a few different parts to install it the way you want to.
Examples:
Condenser (radiator looking part) Brackets. They give flat brackets, you have to bend them yourself to place the condenser where you want it.
Hose ends. If I remember correctly you get 2 - straight ends and 2 - 90 ends for each hose size. no instructions here. You have to figure out how you want to run the hoses and go from there. I am going to have to get at least 1 or 2 different end to work mine out the way I want to.
Blower Fan. The brackets on my fan were in the totally wrong locations. I had to remove the rivets holding them on move the brackets and re-rivet them to the housing. Also the fan is all plastic, housing and impellers. Not a big fan of that but they don't make 'em how they use to.
So if you want this kit be prepared to think this through and do some fabricating when you install it.
I am not really knocking the kit. Just giving my honest observations. I will say this about Nastalgic AC, every time I have called them they have been very nice, courteous, and helpful.
Hopefully in the next few days I can start the tutorial.
