I just installed an air conditioning unit in my 1955 Buick and if you click on the blogs section located in this forum you can see how it was done and pictures of the compressor mount we built.

The total cost of the kit was about $1,000.00 plus $100.00 to have the ends crimped on the lines and to charge the system.

If I did it again I would probably use the same system but I think a Vintage Air system might fit under the dash better.

i need to know if any one with a 1960 buick lesabre has put an ac in. i have the GEN and power steering pump. so i need to know if anyone has made a part for an ac system or what the old one looks like.

thanks for the help but it will not work for me.

If you want air, I would go to one of the vintage/old air outfits and shop for an underdash (after market style) unit. This would be the easiest instal. From there you could go all the way to imitating original equipment to finding original equipment which would be much harder.

i would like to see what the mount looks like on the cars that came with ac so that i could make one that looks like that. but if i can not find a pic then i will just get the kit from vintageair. they told me that someone just got a kit for a 1960 buick. they got the GEN-IV kit.
