Use of Any Other Refrigerants Will Void All Warranties of the Air
Conditioning System and Components. Use of the Proper Type and
Amount of Refrigerant Is Critical to Proper System Operation. Vintage
Air Recommends Our Systems Be Charged By Weight With a Quality
Charging Station or Scale.
Service Info:
Safety Switches:
Important Notice—Please Read
Attention: The following system components are capped: Compressor, evaporator, condenser & drier.
Caps may be under pressure with dry nitrogen. Be careful removing caps. Do not remove caps prior to
installation. Removing caps prior to installation will cause components to collect moisture and lead to
premature failure and reduced performance.
Evacuate the system for 35-45 minutes with system components (Drier, compressor, evaporator and
condenser) 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.
For Maximum System Performance, Vintage Air Recommends the Following:
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.
Vintage Air Systems Are Designed to Operate With R134a
Refrigerant Only! Use of Any Other Refrigerants Is a Fire Hazard and
Could Damage Either Your Air Conditioning System or Your Vehicle.
Refrigerant Capacity for Vintage Air Systems:
(For other systems, consult manufacturer’s guidelines)
R134a System
Charge with 1.8 lbs. (1 lb., 12 oz.) of refrigerant.
Lubricant Capacities:
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).
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 carry lubrication through the system.
Heater Hose (Not Included With This Kit):
To ensure a watertight seal between the passenger compartment and the vehicle exterior, for all
bolts passing through the firewall, Vintage Air recommends coating the threads with silicone prior
to installation.
Bolts Passing Through Firewall:

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 will cause severe damage to the ECU.
When installing ground leads on Gen IV systems, the blower control ground and
ECU ground must be connected directly to the negative battery post.
The heater control valve is a normally open valve. It must be connected to the
ECU to block water flow in MAX A/C mode.
