LUBRICANT CAPACITIES:
134a SYSTEM R-12 SYSTEM
CHARGE WITH 2.0 lbs. OF REFRIGERANT
CHARGE WITH 1.8 lbs.
(1lbs. 12ozs) OF REFRIGERANT
NEW COMPRESSOR - NO ADDITIONAL OIL NEEDED
USED COMPRESSOR - CONSULT VINTAGE AIR
SERVICE INFO:
SAFETY SWITCHES:
ATTENTION: SYSTEM COMPONENTS: THE COMPRESSOR, EVAPORATOR, CONDENSER & DRIER ARE CAPPED.
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.
YOUR VINTAGE AIR SYSTEM IS EQUIPPED WITH A BINARY PRESSURE SAFETY SWITCH. A BINARY SWITCH
(11078-VUS) DISENGAGES THE COMPRESSOR CLUTCH IN CASE OF EXTREME LOW PRESSURE CONDITION
(REFRIGERANT LOSS) OR EXCESSIVELY HIGH HEAD PRESSURE (406 PSI), TO PREVENT COMPRESSOR DAMAGE
OR HOSE RUPTURE. A TRINARY SWITCH (11076-VUS) COMBINES HI/LO PRESSURE PROTECTION WITH AN
ELECTRIC FAN OPERATION SIGNAL AT 254 PSI., AND MAY BE SUBSTITUTED FOR USE WITH ELECTRIC
CONDENSER FANS. COMPRESSOR SAFETY SWITCHES ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT SINCE AN A/C SYSTEM
RELIES ON REFRIGERANT TO CARRY LUBRICATION THROUGH THE SYSTEM.
THIS KIT DOES NOT CONTAIN HEATER HOSE. YOU MUST PURCHASE 8 FEET OF 5/8” DIA.
HEATER HOSE FROM VINTAGE AIR(31800-VUD) OR FROM YOU LOCAL PARTS RETAILER
VINTAGE AIR SYSTEMS ARE DESIGNED TO OPERATE WITH R134a or R-12
REFRIGERANT ONLY ! USE OF ANY OTHER REFRIGERANTS RISKS A DANGER OF FIRE
AND COULD DAMAGE EITHER YOUR AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM OR YOUR VEHICLE.
USE OF ANY OTHER REFRIGERANTS WILL VOID ALL WARRANTIES OF
THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM AND COMPONE NTS. 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.
REFRIGERANT CAPACITIES FOR VINTAGE AIR SYSTEMS

FILL RADIATOR WITH AT LEAST A 50/50 MIXTURE OF APPROVED ANTIFREEZE AND DISTILLED WATER.
IT IS THE OWNERS RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP THE FREEZE PROTECTION AT THE PROPER LEVEL
FOR THE CLIMATE IN WHICH THE VEHICLE IS OPERATED. FAILURE TO FOLLOW ANTIFREEZE
RECOMMENDATIONS WILL CAUSE HEATER CORE TO CORRODE PREMATURELY AND POSSIBLY
BURST IN AC MODE AND/OR FREEZING WEATHER, VOIDING YOUR WARRANTY.
EVACUATE THE SYSTEM AT LEAST 30 MINUTES AND CHARGE ACCORDING TO CAPACITIES ON
INSIDE COVER PAGE.
CHECK COMPLETE A/C ASSEMBLY FOR PROPER OPERATION.
VINTAGE AIR RECOMMENDS THAT ALL A/C SYSTEMS BE SERVICED BY A CERTIFIED AUTOMOTIVE
AIR CONDITIONING TECHNICIAN ONLY. SEE INSIDE COVER FOR SERVICE INFORMATION.
FINAL STEPS

1969 CAMARO w/o FACTORY AIR
AIR CONDITIONING ADJUSTMENTS:
THE AIR CONDITIONER THERMOSTAT CONTROLS COIL TEMPERATURE, IT IS SHIPPED ADJUSTED FULLY
COLD (CLOCKWISE), IN THE MAJORITY OF CASES THE A/C WILL OPERATE CORRECTLY AS SHIPPED.
TURNING THE KNOB ON THE THERMOSTAT TO THE RIGHT (CLOCKWISE) MAKES THE SYSTEM OPERATE
COLDER. IF THE THERMOSTAT IS SET TOO COLD THE EVAPORATOR WILL "ICE UP" - THE EVAPORATOR
COIL IS RESTRICTED WITH ICE AND COLD AIR FLOW WILL BE REDUCED.
TURNING THE KNOB TO THE LEFT (COUNTER CLOCKWISE) MAKES THE SYSTEM OPERATE WARMER.
THE COMPRESSOR CLUTCH WILL CYCLE OFF FREQUENTLY AND THE A/C SYSTEM WILL NOT GET AS
COOL AS IT COULD.
ADJUSTING A/C THERMOSTAT
1.) SYMPTOM: THE A/C WORKS WELL AT FIRST THEN QUITS COOLING. THE AIR FLOW FROM THE
VENTS IS LOW AND THE COMPRESSOR CYCLES INFREQUENTLY.
SOLUTION: THE THERMOSTAT IS SET TOO COLD AND THE EVAPORATOR IS "ICING UP" AND
RESTRICTING AIR FLOW. ALLOW THE ICE TO MELT AND SET THE THERMOSTAT WARMER (COUNTER
CLOCKWISE) 10% OF A TURN EACH ADJUSTMENT UNTIL THE SYMPTOMS DIMINISH.
2.) SYMPTOM: A/C NEVER GETS COLD AND THE COMPRESSOR CLUTCH CYCLES FREQUENTLY.
SOLUTION: THE THERMOSTAT IS SET TOO WARM. SET THE THERMOSTAT COLDER (CLOCKWISE)
10% OF A TURN EACH ADJUSTMENT UNTIL THE COMPRESSOR CLUTCH CYCLES INFREQUENTLY.
AVOID SETTING THE THERMOSTAT TOO COLD.
3.) SYMPTOM: THE A/C NEVER GETS COLD, SOMETIMES EVEN BLOWS HOT, AND THE A/C COMPRESSOR
CLUTCH INFREQUENTLY CYCLES OFF.
SOLUTION: THE HEATER MAY BE ON AT ALL TIMES. CAREFULLY FEEL AROUND THE HEATER HOSES
AT THE FIREWALL. THEY SHOULD BE COLD WHEN THE A/C IS ON. IF THE HOSES ARE HOT....
A) - THE HEATER CONTROL VALVE MAY BE INSTALLED BACKWARDS. CHECK THE FLOW DIRECTION
ARROW ON THE VALVE AGAINST THE ILLUSTRATION IN YOUR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
B) - CABLE OPERATED: THE VALVE MAY BE MISADJUSTED.
C) - HEATER CONTROL VALVE IS INSTALLED IN WRONG HEATER HOSE.
