67 Barracuda Factory Air - Worth Fixing Up?

As another data point, I just spoke with Dallas Customs and Classics. They would restore with a combination of a retro kit with all new parts and use the original under dash vent if desired. Approximate cost would be $7000 and they could take on the job in September. In this scenario I would also still have the $1000 restoration cost of the original vents. Thinking that $8000 is more than I want to spend for a total outsource to get cool air. Will likely either take on the job myself or go without.
