Another company that came recommended on Team Chevelle was Air-tique: http://www.air-tique.com/
Hope this helps.

It sounds like there are some issues with Vintage Air units out there on the List. I was just getting ready to order a unit for my Tempest. Is VA not what it's cracked up to be? Who makes a better unit? Herb is using a VA unit in his Elky and from what I'm aware of he has been pleased except for the cheezy plastic firewall fill panel. Give me some feedback,please.

- I installed two VA units one in my 66 Elky & one in my 64 Elky.
- & the blower blows a lot of air way more than my 66 Malibu with
- factory air. The heat don't work worth a damn. I'm in Dallas TX.
- So you know I need the AC. But this was 7 yrs ago I installed them.
- If your VA blower don't put out a lot of air check the (cheesy)
- plastic cage fan, both of mind destroyed themselves. They have
- a "D" shaped hole that fits the "D" shaped motor shaft, what happens
- is the thin plastic fan cracks & slips on the motor shaft.
- When I ordered new ones I machined an aluminum spacer that reinforced
- the fan top & bottom. No trouble since.
