See Post #18 for first info and some photos.
AC installation update: We attended the 2018 MARC National and had a good opportunity to test our newly installed AC system. With the outside temps approaching 100 degrees, the interior of our '31 S/W Town Sedan was cool even on the medium setting. Only issue I had was the radiator in the car is undersized for the motor I am running. I have an 11 fin per inch radiator coming from Brassworks and that should do the trick.
I met Ken Davis, the supplier of the AC system, while at the convention. He stopped to look under my hood as I was checking things over. thanked him for the well operating system.
Good Day!

I have their "Hurricane" in my truck...LOVE IT

They also have self contained units. Well worth looking at.

The Ken Davis unit utilizes Old Air components. Ken just makes it fit a Model A with no alterations.

I installed my under dash unit similar to what Dave did in Post #18. Gives the driver more leg room and does not penalize the passenger.

This is the unit I installed in a Slant window fordor about 5 years ago. No reason the same unit could not be installed i a Cabriolet or any other Model A. Vertically it is 1inch less high than any of the other styles evaporator.
