Use of any other refrigerant could damage your A/C system and/or vehicle, and possibly cause a fire, in addition to potentially voiding the warranties of the A/C system and its components. Refrigerant Capacities: Vintage Air System: 1.8 lbs. (28.8 oz.) or 816 grams of R134a, charged by weight with a quality charging station or scale. NOTE: Use of the proper type and amount of refrigerant is critical to system operation and performance. Other Systems: Consult manufacturer’s guidelines. Lubricant Capacities: New Vintage Air-supplied Sanden Compressor: No additional oil needed (Compressor is shipped with proper oil charge). All Other Compressors: Consult manufacturer (Some compressors are shipped dry and will need oil added). Safety Switches Your Vintage Air system is equipped with a binary pressure safety switch. A binary switch disengages the compressor clutch in cases of extreme low pressure conditions (Refrigerant Loss) or excessively high head pressure (406 PSI) to prevent compressor damage or hose rupture. A trinary switch combines Hi/Lo pressure protection with an electric fan operation signal at 254 PSI, and should be substituted for use with electric fans. Compressor safety switches are extremely important since an A/C system relies on refrigerant to circulate lubricant. Service Info: Protect Your Investment: Prior to assembly, it is critical that the compressor, evaporator, A/C hoses and fittings, hardlines, condenser and receiver/drier remained capped. Removing caps prior to assembly will allow moisture, insects and debris into the components, possibly leading to reduced performance and/or premature failure of your A/C system. This is especially important with the receiver/drier. Additionally, when caps are removed for assembly, BE CAREFUL! Some components are shipped under pressure with dry nitrogen. Evacuate the System for 35-45 Minutes: Ensure that system components (Drier, compressor, evaporator and condenser) are at a temperature of at least 85° F. On a cool day, the components can be heated with a heat gun or by running the engine with the heater on before evacuating. Leak check and charge to specifications. Bolts Passing Through Cowl and/or Firewall: To ensure a watertight seal between the passenger compartment and the vehicle exterior, for all bolts passing through the cowl and/or firewall, Vintage Air recommends coating the threads with silicone prior to installation. Heater Hose (Not Included With This Kit): Heater hose may be purchased from Vintage Air (Part# 31800-VUD) or your local parts retailer. Routing and required length will vary based on installer preference. 4 902665 REV B 04/02/19, PG 4 OF 12 www.vintageair.com Core Support Measurements This kit was developed based on the measurements below, which were taken from a 1967 Chevrolet Nova with factory air and a 1964 Chevrolet Nova without factory air. 20 ½” 23 ⅛” 15” 10 ½” Passenger Side Driver Side 21” 15” NOTE: See the 15” x 21” Core Support Modification on Page 6 if your vehicle has this core support opening.

The drier contains a desiccant that will quickly absorb moisture from the air, causing it to lose effectiveness. For this reason, Vintage Air recommends that the drier remains capped until the installer is ready to evacuate the system. Perform the Following: 1. Lubricate a #6 O-ring (See Lubricating O-rings, Page 9) and install the #6 condenser/drier hardline onto the drier as shown below. NOTE: Refrigerant flow through drier is IN from condenser, OUT to evaporator. 2. Place the drier onto the fenderwell with the drier clamps. Secure it using (2) #10 x 1/2” sheet metal screws as shown below. 3. Tigthen the fittings as shown in Lubricating O-rings, Page 9. 4. Install the male binary switch onto the drier as shown. NOTE: If using an electric fan, Vintage Air recommends replacing the binary safety switch with a trinary safety switch for proper system operation (Part #11086-VUS). Switches must be replaced prior to charging the system.
