Important Notice—Please Read
For Maximum System Performance, Vintage Air Recommends the Following:
New Vintage Air-supplied Sanden Compressor: No additional oil needed (Compressor is shipped with
proper oil charge).
All Other Compressors: Consult manufacturer (Some compressors are shipped dry and will need oil
added).
NOTE: Vintage Air systems are designed to operate with R134a refrigerant only.
Use of any other refrigerant could damage your A/C system and/or vehicle, and
possibly cause a fire, in addition to potentially voiding the warranties of the A/C
system and its components.
Refrigerant Capacities:
Vintage Air System: 1.8 lbs. (28.8 oz.) or 816 grams of R134a, charged by weight with a quality charging
station or scale. NOTE: Use of the proper type and amount of refrigerant is critical to system
operation and performance.
Other Systems: Consult manufacturer’s guidelines.
Lubricant Capacities:
Safety Switches
Service Info:
Protect Your Investment: Prior to assembly, it is critical that the compressor, evaporator, A/C hoses and
fittings, hardlines, condenser and receiver/drier remained capped. Removing caps prior to assembly will
allow moisture, insects and debris into the components, possibly leading to reduced performance and/or
premature failure of your A/C system. This is especially important with the receiver/drier.
Additionally, when caps are removed for assembly, BE CAREFUL! Some components are shipped under
pressure with dry nitrogen.
Evacuate the System for 35-45 Minutes: Ensure that system components (Drier, compressor, evaporator
and condenser) are at a temperature of at least 85° F. On a cool day, the components can be heated with a
heat gun or by running the engine with the heater on before evacuating. Leak check and charge to
specifications.
Your Vintage Air system is equipped with a binary pressure safety switch. A binary switch disengages the
compressor clutch in cases of extreme low pressure conditions (Refrigerant Loss) or excessively high head
pressure (406 PSI) to prevent compressor damage or hose rupture. A trinary switch combines Hi/Lo
pressure protection with an electric fan operation signal at 254 PSI, and should be substituted for use with
electric fans. Compressor safety switches are extremely important since an A/C system relies on refrigerant
to circulate lubricant.
Bolts Passing Through Cowl and/or Firewall:
To ensure a watertight seal between the passenger compartment and the vehicle exterior, for all bolts
passing through the cowl and/or firewall, Vintage Air recommends coating the threads with silicone prior to
installation.
Heater Hose (Not Included With This Kit):
Heater hose may be purchased from Vintage Air (Part# 31800-VUD) or your local parts retailer. Routing and
required length will vary based on installer preference.

Important Wiring Notice—Please Read
Some Vehicles May Have Had Some or All of Their Radio Interference Capacitors Removed.
There Should Be a Capacitor Found At Each of the Following Locations:
1. On the positive terminal of the ignition coil.
2. If there is a generator, on the armature terminal of the generator.
3. If there is a generator, on the battery terminal of the voltage regulator.
Most alternators have a capacitor installed internally to eliminate what is called “whining” as
the engine is revved. If whining is heard in the radio, or just to be extra cautious, a radio
interference capacitor can be added to the battery terminal of the alternator.
It is also important that the battery lead is in good shape and that the ground leads are not
compromised. There should be a heavy ground from the battery to the engine block, and
additional grounds to the body and chassis.
If these precautions are not observed, it is possible for voltage spikes to be present on the
battery leads. These spikes come from ignition systems, charging systems, and from
switching some of the vehicle’s other systems on and off. Modern computer-operated
equipment can be sensitive to voltage spikes on the power leads, which can cause unexpected
resets, strange behavior, and/or permanent damage.
Vintage Air strives to harden our products against these types of electrical noise, but there is
a point where a vehicle’s electrical system can be degraded so much that nothing can help.
Radio interference capacitors should be available at most auto and truck parts suppliers. They
typically are cylindrical in shape, a little over an inch long, a little over a half inch in diameter,
and they have a single lead coming from one end of the cylinder with a terminal on the end of
the wire, as well as a mounting clip which is screwed into a good ground on the vehicle. The
specific value of the capacitance is not too significant in comparison to ignition capacitors that
are matched with the coil to reduce pitting of the points.
Care must be taken, when installing the compressor lead, not to short it to ground.
The compressor lead must not be connected to a condenser fan or to any other
auxiliary device. Shorting to ground or connecting to a condenser fan or any other
auxiliary device may damage wiring, the compressor relay, and/or cause a
malfunction.
When installing ground leads on Gen IV systems, the blower control ground and ECU
ground must be connected directly to the negative battery post.
For proper system operation, the heater control valve must be connected to the
ECU.

Some F Series trucks are equipped with a 3-speed manual transmission with a “granny” 1st gear. These
congurations use a long shift lever; the most popular in this generation is the 4-speed New Process 435
transmission (Identied as “A” on VIN plate). The shift lever moves approximately 2” further forward
to engage 1st gear compared to 3rd gear. This additional travel may cause an interference with the
underdash louver bezel, and will require a modication to the shift lever in order to clear it.

NOTE: For proper operation of the evaporator unit, Vintage Air recommends using heat-blocking
insulation in the area around the subcase (rewall, inner cowl and kick panel). Due to tight clearance
for the evaporator unit between the rewall and dash, Vintage Air recommends an insulation thickness
of no more than 1/4”.
Firewall Insulation
Locate the evaporator rewall bracket as shown in Photo 1, below. Place the evaporator rewall bracket onto
the rewall, and trace around the base of the bracket as shown in Photos 2, 3, and 4, below.
Using spray adhesive, install the new heat-blocking insulation in the area of the rewall that was removed,
being careful not to cover the marked area from the evaporator bracket base and the 1/2” ID x 1 ¼” OD
grommet (See Photos 5 & 6, below). NOTE: During the evaporator installation, if the evaporator unit
does not t properly, look for places where the insulation may be interfering with the evaporator
clearance. Trim the insulation as needed.
