Putting A/C in your ride is even easier than before. We have put together everything you need to get Restomod Air A/C running in your ride. With our simple step-by-step how to BUILD A CUSTOM KIT section you can be sure that you get everything the first time.
Often the engine bay is overlooked or even misunderstood regarding A/C. So, what is the purpose of the custom condenser kit? Its function is to act as a heat exchanger and allow heat to flow from the hot refrigerant to the cooler outside air. R134a entering the condenser will be high pressure, high-temperature vapor. As the R134a vapor travels through the tubes of the condenser, heat is given off to the cooler ambient air; the refrigerant vapor condenses and changes to a liquid state. At this point, a large amount of heat is given off by the R134a. The parallel flow design is very similar to a cross-flow radiator. Instead of refrigerant traveling through one passage, it can now travel across numerous passages.
The Condenser
There are a few things to keep in mind. You want to go as large as possible on the condenser size. The condenser must be mounted within 1″ of the radiator without touching. Failure to do so will prevent the A/C System from functioning correctly. We also recommend that the condenser is about an inch away from the radiator. Must be mounted where hoses can reach. This new black powder-coated all-aluminum parallel flow design condenser is specifically for R134a refrigerant. This allows up to 40% more heat reduction capacity along with a dramatic difference in refrigerant flow and pressure drop compared to the obsolete standard tube and fin condenser. This condenser provides superior heat exchange.

SMALL CONNECTIONS: bottom of condenser
This design is very similar to a cross flow radiator. Instead of refrigerant traveling through one passage (like serpentine type), it can now travel across numerous passages. This will give larger surface area for the cooler ambient air to contact. Must be mounted where hose can reach.
