Got back to work on the Vintage Air install. Haven't installed any others but this Gen 5 VA kit is very well thought out with good instructions. Kit comes with every screw & piece of hardware needed to complete installation. I think heater hose & a fan belt were the only additional purchases required. Of the 3 ac hoses supplied with kit, one came with both fittings installed. The other 2, which run from the unit inside the cab to the underhood area had one fitting that had to be installed locally. Reason being instructions said to measure hose length & cut to fit. But in fact, just like everything else in this kit the length was perfect on both hoses. A local shop charged 8 bucks to install the fittings. As of now, install is complete up to the making sure all blower functions work correctly & the heater function works & no leaks. (Instructions come with check list after completing install.) Later today the ac charge should be completed . At that point I'll install the kit supplied reduced size glove box & cover, install will then be complete.
