What You Need To Know About Installing An AC System In Your Classic Car

Reginald Richardson

While taking a long road trip in your classic car may seem like a dream come true, this dream could quickly turn into a nightmare as the cabin temperatures rise on a hot day without any air conditioning. Unfortunately, many classic cars do not offer this cooling feature. However, it is possible to enjoy a far more comfortable cruising experience by choosing to install an AC in your classic car. Best of all, the installation of an AC may be easier than you think.

Was Your Vehicle Available With AC?

While many classic vehicles were produced without AC units, some of these vehicles did offer the option of having an AC installed. However, since it was still rather expensive to include this option at the time these vehicles were produced, many people could not purchase a vehicle with a factory-installed AC unit included. Thankfully, it is not too late for you to take advantage of the fact that this option was available. If your vehicle had the original option of a factory-installed AC unit, adding an AC to your classic car can be both quick and affordable with the technology that exists today. Best of all, since these vehicles are already designed to accommodate an AC unit, you will not need to sacrifice the aesthetics associated with the original vehicle design. 

What If There Was No Factory Option?

If your classic car did not come with the option of having an AC unit installed, you can still choose to add air conditioning through the use of a standalone cooling system. These standalone systems are designed to have as little impact as possible on the original design of the vehicle while still offering effective cabin cooling. The cost of these standalone systems and the impact they have on the aesthetics of your vehicle will depend greatly upon the make and model of your specific vehicle. Generally speaking, the newer your vehicle is, the easier it will be to accommodate an AC system. This is because newer cars tend to have more space inside the engine compartment to accommodate a hanging AC system while vintage cars tend to offer less available space for this type of aftermarket upgrade.

The Bottom Line

While the cost and ease of installation can vary dramatically from one vehicle to the next, it is possible to successfully install an aftermarket AC system in just about any classic car. To learn more about the options available for your specific vehicle, be sure to reach out to a mechanic in your area that specializes in working on classic vehicles.
