I bought the universal GEN IV kit to put in my '68 A-Body, because they don't have a Perfect Fit kit available for this A-Bodies yet. The evaporator unit is their top shelf evaporator with electronically controlled servos that use a dedicated, dash-mounted control panel. The evaporator fits nicely under the dash and is relatively easy to plumb, wire and install. The performance and reliability of this unit is nothing short of impressive.
Most of you considering this install will have a different underhood compressor mount & hose routing set-up than I have, so I will limit describing that to a few words and pic's. I'm running a 408" stroked 5.9 Magnum with EFI and the stock serpentine belt set-up including the Sanden compressor. I ordered the largest triple pass condenser that would fit in my 22" radiator opening from Nostalgic Air ( Nostalgic AC - Aftermarket Air Conditioning For Automobiles ) ((they are a great source for misc parts etc)) and am running a custom US Radiator 4-row brass radiator with the old-style fin design to allow for more airflow.
Here are a few pictures of the underhood and interior of the car to show what I started with.
