After several years of no air conditioning on my 69 step side I am looking to repair or upgrade the AC. The AC came factory on this truck so its mostly intact and ran ok for many years except for a small leak. The compressor froze a couple of years ago.

I can get all the parts but after looking at the Vintage Air kits I am wondering if new might be better. Plus a new system might free up some space under the hood.

My options as I see it are to rebuild/test the existing system or rip it out and install a modern ac system.

Have any of you gone though this process?
