Great job C!!Be KOOL!:happy2:You might be right on the Cuda location vs the Demon's.....It was a struggle to get it to fit there, but I couldn't find any other place I was happy with.

Thx Stan.....75* Whew, I can't wait for that temp here (brrrr), time for a jacket LOL
Pete, I'm not sure on $$, but should be more priceless "smiles per gallon" :cheers:
Thx petty.....I'm hoping to Be KOOL maybe by next week!!
We're hoping to make it again this year HE HE
. Did you see the FABO Meet 'n Greet thread in the Events forum that Tony started for MMW?
Hoping the A/C install will be finished this weekend. It wouldn't have taken this long if the project wasn't sidetracked with new insulation, carpeting and stereo upgrades........ Need a few final cuts on the carpeting, then put the bucket seats, sill plates and seat belts back in.
Then off to the shop for evacuation and charging....My fingers are crossed, the A/C won't require add'l upgrades to the cooling system. The radiator is new, and I'm running a 5 blade Mopar clutch fan with a factory shroud, so we'll see........
To be continued :cheers:

I was reading this thread for 2 reasons I am repairing my factory A/C and live 8 miles from Classic Air here in Tampa and used them for help even thought I bought nothing from them...My windows are all factory tinted the tint is very hard to notice if at all and Plymouth recommended tint as it makes it easy for factory system to keep cooler, but might take a little longer to get cool but works with out the tint ..I would think with a NEW systems you would never notice any cooling delay at all .Rick...:-k

how long did it take you to get the heater a/c box out?
Less than an hour to remove the heater / non AC box.
I've got AC in my Demon..........

Having what appears to be :stacked Heater core and evaporator cotr youwill neee a heater control to stop hot water from being in the heater when AC is desired.
Maybe like this is what U mean Ken. This valve is supplied in the kit..

Hey 6pk. I'm trying to install A/c in my dart with a /6. It was an a/c car so I just got a sanden 508 compressure and brackets off a 85 truck with a /6. I'm using the factory condenser and evap but need to make new lines. My question is, are you using an expansion valve? If so where is it located in your system? Thanks
BTW, your system looks killer Kool.

And how cool is it? Is life now more enjoyable in a black Demon?
Wylde1.
good question, how cool and how is the engine temp when running it?
I "think" the expansion valve is integrated in the new AC box supplied in the kit from Classic Auto Air. I'm not sure where Mopar put it on original factory AC cars. Maybe start a thread and ask.....someone must know that answer for you.
Thx on the looks killer Kool comment.....I'm really happy with it
Thx Wylde...Yes, much more enjoyable now. The coldest I've seen on the thermometer stuck in the vents was around 43*.....brrrrrrr. ha,ha
Right after the install the car was elevating slightly north of 210* on a 100*+ day in regular stop 'n go traffic.
We mounted an auxilary electric 10" pusher fan in front of the condensor this weekend and test drive showed temps staying below 210*. Should be good for the winter season here. Not sure it would work in extreme temps though :sunny:
I'm calling it done for now.....

Thinking I am about to upgrade my Dart with this kit, how has yours held up in the past few years since installing.

rtee, I would highly recommend the Classic kit. Their customer service & install help was much better than anticipated.
NO issues since the install in 2012 other than keeping the coolant temp down. After topping off the R134 (about 6 months later), my thermometer often reads in the 30* range...
Mine is not a daily driver and our climate here can be extremely hot in the summer, but AC sure helps extend the driving season

Isn't the hardware stuff tar based and smells when it heats up?
What I used has NO tar based material...It's basically 2 layers of aluminum foil with bubble wrap type material in the middle....Very easy to work with & inexpensive
