  1. Can certainly be done.  Takes time, creativity and some fab skills.  This is the console I created in my '71.  You will note it is a 260/280 dash.  I used this because the dash opening is more conducive to adding things like a DD radio.  I fabricated the opening face place to house the radio, vents, Vintage Air controls and Audi pop out cup holders and switches.

  2. LLave,

     

    All I can say in answer to your question is maybe?  Yes the OE compressor is variable.  Some say they use it without issue.  Others suggest wiring it to be fixed instead of variable.  Full disclosure on my end; the car hasn't gotten far enough for me to test it.  I may run into problems and have to change my approach, which would consist of altering the wiring as opposed to changing the compressor.  I'm pretty locked into this direction at this point.  Luckily living in the great white north I likely won't need it that often.

     

    Thanks for the compliment.  Clean was one of my primary objectives in the engine bay.

  3. I too am using the Vintage Air Mini II.  It fits quite nicely behind the dash.  On the motor end I used the OE LS1 compressor (F-body donor).  To enable this I had to notch the frame rail and migrate from JCI mounts to Corvette C5 motor mounts (plus my own cross member creation).  In order to meet my goal of an extremely clean engine bay all of the plumbing runs through the passenger side fender.  Condenser and receiver dryer with trinary are all in front of the core support.

  4. At this point in time I would prefer to not proliferate my concepts.  The car is intended to showcase what I consider to be my creativity.  Perhaps once it is out there in the public domain for a while I will consider producing items such as the taillights.

     

    Thanks for the interest.  It endorses what I am doing to some degree.
