1968 Plymouth Valiant First Gen HEMI
It's still not going to be real cheap but I do like being able to tailor the system to the car. I'll likely have about what I'd pay for a Vintage Air (or similar) kit. Fortunately I'm able to do my own work which is where the real savings are.
The cheapest way to go if the car had had a working heater, would have been to just add an under-dash AC unit it. I actually thought about doing that as I had the factory heater from the parts car. The main thing that stopped me was that whoever originally built the car had done a nice job of filling the heater motor hole and I really didn’t want to go in and re-cut the hole.

Even then I’d still be into it $1200-$1500 in parts, not counting the time and money refurbishing the factory heater (minimum; new motor and heater core).
