I'm starting the a/c install.
After almost 17 years of owning this car, and swearing every summer that this will be the last one without a/c, its finally going in.
Here is the kit out of the box (3).
Got the kit with a V-M group buy, roughly 15% off. Compressor is an actual Sanden unit vice a knock-off. Evaporator is all electronic controls and there is a modification kit for the factory a/c control panel that allows the a/c and heat to work per the factory labels on the control panel.
So far the kit seems to be well designed specifically to the Mustang, but there are still a couple areas with room for improvement. I don't care for their compressor mount, so I'm going to use the factory brackets and idler pulleys with a adapter bracket. They also didn't provide a compressor belt or instructions for how to incorporate the compressor pulley into the existing pulley system. No extra pulleys, idlers, or brackets were provided other than the compressor mounting bracket.
Other than the lack of clear instructions for the compressor belt, the instructions for the entire kit seems to be very well written and everything has gone as advertised so far.
Condenser is installed, evaporator is assembled and ready to to in. I need to make a run to the local parts store for some sealant for the cowl block plate and the firewall block plate.
