Aftermarket A/C for '72 Bird?

[Bird Man Of AZ]

(Moderator: Feel free to move my thread if I'm posting this topic in the wrong sub-forum.)


Has anyone installed an aftermarket air conditioning system in a '72 Bird? Mine doesn't have factory air and living in Arizona makes it pretty much a necessity. I'm curious as to how difficult of a job it is to perform the actual installation. And, I'd like to know where the aftermarket A/C kit would be available for purchase.

I checked Classic Auto Air's website, but their systems only include up to and including the 1970 RR, but not '71 or '72. And, Vintage Air's website only has systems for '72 Barracudas, not '72 RR's.

Anybody know if there's another company that might have what I'm looking for?

Bump.

Still looking for an A/C system for my '72 Bird.

There are posts on FBBO about it. I would think an E-body kit might work with some mods as the firewall is basically the same as the `71-74 B-body but not 100% sure.

I put my own kit together for my 68 Valiant using a Vintage Mini unit but I have access to the vendor down here in Phoenix to pick stuff up I missed. It is a chore and if I didn't have a console I would leave the factory heater in and put an under dash unit in. I only wish I was in Prescott in the summer!
