By this logic, the installation of the A/C system here from Vintage air should be different in EVERY 68 Plymouth simply because it isn't worth the time for the vendor to write decent instructions?
No. If the kit has parts that are common to all their kits and the parts are to be assembled to a production car, they can make detailed instructions that actually help.
To just leave it up to interpretation for every installation is piss poor business.
In 2019 when I was installing the Classic Auto Air in my Charger, I looked at other 68-70 B bodies at car shows and gatherings. There was a pathetic variance in appearance, placement of lines, parts and hoses in the cars that I saw.
Yes, there are ham fisted dipshits with false confidence that can fumble and figure out the job but that isn't the entire buying market.
These are not custom cars where every component is massaged and made specifically for this "one of one" car.
I'm talking aftermarket medium production parts designed to fit specific models.
