No. QTY. PART No. DESCRIPTION


Use of Any Other Refrigerants Will Void All Warranties of the Air Conditioning System and Components. Use of the Proper Type and

Amount of Refrigerant Is Critical to Proper System Operation. VintageAir Recommends Our Systems Be Charged By Weight With a Quality

Charging Station or Scale.

Service Info:

Safety Switches:

Important Notice—Please Read

Attention: The following system components are capped: Compressor, evaporator, condenser & drier. Caps may be under pressure with dry nitrogen. Be careful removing caps. Do not remove caps prior to installation. Removing caps prior to installation will cause components to collect moisture and lead to premature failure and reduced performance.

Evacuate the system for 35-45 minutes with system components (Drier, compressor, evaporator and condenser) 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.

For Maximum System Performance, Vintage Air Recommends the Following:

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.

Vintage Air Systems Are Designed to Operate With R134a Refrigerant Only! Use of Any Other Refrigerants Is a Fire Hazard and Could Damage Either Your Air Conditioning System or Your Vehicle.

Refrigerant Capacity for Vintage Air Systems:(For other systems, consult manufacturer’s guidelines)

R134a SystemCharge with 1.8 lbs. (1 lb., 12 oz.) of refrigerant.

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).

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.

Heater Hose (Not Included With This Kit):

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.

Bolts Passing Through Cowl and/or Firewall:


Important Wiring Notice—Please Read

Some Vehicles May Have Had Some or All of Their Radio Interference Capacitors Removed. There Should Be a Capacitor Found At Each of the Following Locations:

1. On the positive terminal of the ignition coil.2. If there is a generator, on the armature terminal of the generator.3. If there is a generator, on the battery terminal of the voltage regulator.

Most alternators have a capacitor installed internally to eliminate what is called “whining” as the engine is revved. If whining is heard in the radio, or just to be extra cautious, a radio interference capacitor can be added to the battery terminal of the alternator.

It is also important that the battery lead is in good shape and that the ground leads are not compromised. There should be a heavy ground from the battery to the engine block, and additional grounds to the body and chassis.

If these precautions are not observed, it is possible for voltage spikes to be present on the battery leads. These spikes come from ignition systems, charging systems, and from switching some of the vehicle’s other systems on and off. Modern computer-operated equipment can be sensitive to voltage spikes on the power leads, which can cause unexpected resets, strange behavior, and/or permanent damage.

Vintage Air strives to harden our products against these types of electrical noise, but there is a point where a vehicle’s electrical system can be degraded so much that nothing can help.

Radio interference capacitors should be available at most auto and truck parts suppliers. They typically are cylindrical in shape, a little over an inch long, a little over a half inch in diameter, and they have a single lead coming from one end of the cylinder with a terminal on the end of the wire, as well as a mounting clip which is screwed into a good ground on the vehicle. The specific value of the capacitance is not too significant in comparison to ignition capacitors that are matched with the coil to reduce pitting of the points.

Care must be taken, when installing the compressor lead, not to short it to ground. The compressor lead must not be connected to a condenser fan or to any other auxiliary device. Shorting to ground or connecting to a condenser fan or any other auxiliary device may damage wiring, the compressor relay, and/or cause a malfunction.

When installing ground leads on Gen IV systems, the blower control ground and ECU ground must be connected directly to the negative battery post.

For proper system operation, the heater control valve must be connected to the ECU.

DEFROST DUCT

ALIGN DEFROST DUCT WITH OPENING IN DASH, IF APPLICABLE. USE OEM MOUNTING HOLE LOCATIONS OR MARK AND DRILL 1/8” MOUNTING HOLES. USE (4) #8 x ½” SCREWS TO SECURE THE NEW DEFROST DUCTS AS SHOWN IN FIGURE 1, BELOW.

NOTE: FOR AN ALTERNATE INSTALLATION METHOD, APPLY SILICONE, EPOXY, ETC., TO DEFROST DUCTS AND ALIGN WITH OPENINGS IN DASH.

PLANNING OVERVIEWEVERY VEHICLE IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT, DEPENDING ON THE: 1. TYPE OF VEHICLE/ENGINE AND LOCATION OF ENGINE. 2. TYPE OF AIR CONDITIONING EQUIPMENT USED. 3. OWNER’S PREFERENCES.

THERE ARE MANY FACTORS THAT GO INTO MAKING EACH AIR CONDITIONING INSTALLATIONDIFFERENT. USUALLY, ALL OF THE ABOVE DECISIONS ARE MADE BEFORE ANY CONSIDERATIONIS GIVEN TO THE AIR CONDITIONING INSTALLATION. THE A/C SYSTEM IS THEN TAILORED TO FITYOUR PARTICULAR APPLICATION.

THE MOUNTING LOCATION OF THE EVAPORATOR UNIT IS DETERMINED IN PART BY THE SPACEAVAILABLE FOR THE HOSE ROUTING. THE COMPONENTS USED IN THE HOSE ROUTING PROCESS (I.E.BULKHEAD PLATES, FITTINGS, AND GROMMETS, ETC.) WILL ALSO INFLUENCE THE LOCATION OFTHE EVAPORATOR UNIT. WHEN PLANNING YOUR HOSE ROUTING, YOU MUST INSTALL THE MAJORCOMPONENT PARTS. MOUNT THE COMPRESSOR, CONDENSER AND DRIER. THE EVAPORATORMUST BE TEMPORARILY HELD IN POSITION UNDER THE DASH. FINAL MOUNTING OF THE EVAPORATOR TO THE FIREWALL SHOULD NOT BE DONE UNTIL YOU HAVE VERIFIED THAT ALL HOSESATTACHING TO THE EVAPORATOR WILL EXIT THE FIREWALL AND/OR KICK PANEL AS PLANNED. THE HOSES MUST BE RUN EXACTLY THE WAY THEY WILL BE WHEN FINISHED, BEFORE CUTTING THEM TOLENGTH.

DUCT HOSE ROUTING AND A/C VENT LOCATIONS SHOULD ALSO BE GIVEN CAREFUL CONSIDERATIONBEFORE FINAL MOUNTING POSITION OF THE EVAPORATOR IS SELECTED.

THE VINTAGE AIR GEN IV MAGNUM UNIT WAS DESIGNED FOR CLASSIC CARS, CUSTOM CARS, ANDTRUCKS. THE EVAPORATOR UNIT IS DESIGNED TO MOUNT BEHIND THE DASH.

READ THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY, AND FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH ALL THE PARTS AND ILLUSTRATIONS.

THE INSTALLATION OF THIS UNIT VARIES ACCORDING TO THE BODY MANUFACTURER OR MODIFICATIONS TO THE ORIGINAL BODY. TAKE YOUR TIME, AND DOUBLE CHECK BEFORE DRILLING OR CUTTING.

REMOVE OEM HEATER, DEFROST DUCTS, CONTROLS, BLOWER ASSEMBLY, A/C EVAPORATOR & CONDENSERIF EQUIPPED.

BEFORE BEGINNING, REMOVE GLOVE BOX TO EASE INSTALLATION. IF THE DASH IS EASILY REMOVABLE, REMOVE IT NOW. CHECK FOR, AND FILL IN ANY HOLES IN THE FIREWALL AND FLOOR. INSULATE AND SEAL FIREWALL, FLOOR, DOOR PANELS, AND HEADLINER TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF HEAT ENTERING THE CAR.
