I did not like the way the Ken Davis kit mounted or the hose runs. Did my own design with some major changes from the way Ken Davis does his. I have put A/C in my 31 coupe and it works well. Just finished putting A/C in the Slant windshied 4 dr. The A/C was planed in the S/W from the ground up. Lots of insulation and brackets and mounting were designed and installed as the resroation was done.

On each car I am running a HC head and there is negligible (sp) pull on the engine at all or any speed. In fact on the coupe engine (Brumfield head) when the compressor kicks in while engine is at idel the tachometer does not change. She idles at 550 rpm.

Compressor and alternator mounting bracket is mounted to the what was the generator mount and is braced to one of the water pump bolts with a built in adjusting slide. It is a one piece bracket that holds both units. Condensor mounts under the body - behind the differeintail -oops sp. total cost for compressor condensor evaporator hoses drier brackets was around $1100.

In the Texas heat my wife says it is a necessary -- and I kinda agree.
