Installing Vintage Air HVAC System C3 1977 Corvette

Now that the transmission swap is complete, it's time to move onto installing the Vintage Air HVAC system. Out with the old to make room for the new!
We are converting this 77 Corvette from an automatic to manual using the C3 Corvette TKX 5-Speed Kit from American PowerTrain. Other upgrades planned include a new Vintage Air conditioning system and a new Holley Sniper fuel injection system. Follow us as we show each major step along the way.

I have vintage air in my 74 convertable. On a 88 degree day with the top down, my wife turned down the ac because it was too cold! Awesome ac!

I can’t wait to see the completed project! It’s going to be a great little vette!

[@MichMotorSports]

Thank you, Brandon! We are excited to show the completed project too. I believe the owner wants to do a few other things to it including getting it painted. This may be an ongoing project even after we are done with it.

You will likely pull that engine and replace it. The awakening is breathtaking with these cars. Put a 355 in the 76 / 77 and both were amazing. A whopping 425 hp. Point is, all that will come off, well, brackets, and you will paint the bat while at it 😃

Keep up the great work.

[@MichMotorSports]

Thank you! We definitely intend to :).

Great Video, what is the part number for this kit. I have a 77 Corvette with a bad A/C

[@GOATPotts]

Awesome videos on this project. Did your Corvette have AC before you started or did the kit have most of what was needed to add AC? I saw there was no compressor and I have the same thing right now, so I am looking at that kit and just wondering if there was much more needed other than a belt for the job?

WHERE COULD I GET THE FULL KIT FOR MY 1974 STINGRAY

[@bookbard2382]

Approx how much does it cost to replace a whole AC system into a '78 Vette?

[@IanConner-el7ht]

$2300

Sadly China dictates the end of use of all combustion cars worldwide. Its not about the environment....Chinas boss Darth Xi told most politicians that they wont do any business with underdeveloped countries that still allow CO2 emitting traffic, aircrafts, ships or combustion based industry after 2030...I am sure USA and UK also will be forced by China to 100% electric traffic because today no industrialized country can afford sanctions by China.... China just rules the world and wants to sell lithium, cobalt and cars...:-(/
