Hey guys thanks for the great replies, I am going to go with the Vintage Air and see how that works. I have the Raylle Guages and I like the electronic control panel. I didnt care for using the stock heater control panel that Classic Air uses. My car is custam anyway, Its a 74 Cuda, I pulled the 360 motor and tranny out, and installed a 2004 Hemi and tranny in it. Am planning on using the original compressor that came on the hemi with the a/c system. Will just get new hoses made.

Hey, There is a local guy who can make custom hoses when I get to that point.

Lets see if you still feel that way when you see how frail the knobs are..... As I've posted before I've worked on a few where the knobs have fallen off already.... POS IMO...

This is the bulkhead I was referring to.
Vintage sells hose in kit form for custom setups.
