    AC / Heater / Defroster

    I am considering the install of AC / Heater in my Gen 3 Coupe. Besides the unit FFR sells what other brands will fit under the dash?

    Thank You,
    Edward

    Just to let you know. I tried out the Vintage Air Gen IV Magnum mock up box and it is a no-go for under the dash without major surgery to the dash.
    My Type 65 Coupe: Ordered May 27, 2021. Arrived November 19, 2021.
    I would like to treat my gas pedal as a binary operator. It would be nice to get the cooperation of everyone in front of me.

    I studied this pretty thoroughly when I did mine. I didn't find a single example that fit other than the Factory Five setup with the Siroco evaporator they use. Because of the frame design, the space is very limited. It's a basic system and works OK. Won't freeze you out like most DD's. But makes the interior comfortable. Heater works great.

    I want to echo what Paul said, I looked pretty extensively to try and find a setup that would fit a gen 3 and had absolutely no luck. space is very limited behind the dash. I wound up just ordering the kit from FFR.
