Description
You will be contacted by phone after ordering to gather final details for your kit!
The Vintage Air Gen 5 SureFit® Climate Control System for 1968–1969 Chevy Chevelles is the most advanced aftermarket air conditioning solution on the market. This complete kit replaces your original, bulky heater box with a high-capacity, fully electronic system that fits entirely behind your dash, providing modern cooling performance without sacrificing the classic look of your Chevelle.
5th Generation Technology
The Gen 5 series represents a major leap in climate control engineering:
Fully Electronic Control: This system is microprocessor-controlled, utilizing high-torque electric actuators. This eliminates the unreliable cables and vacuum lines found in original and older aftermarket systems.
Superior Heat Exchangers: It uses separate, high-density aluminum A/C and heater coils. This "Parallel Flow" design allows for much faster cabin cooling and more consistent heat than factory equipment.
Intelligent Air Management: Features injection-molded blend air doors with integral rubber seals for a true airtight fit, ensuring air goes exactly where you want it (dash, floor, or defrost).
Precision Engineering & Quality
Improved NVH Isolation: The evaporator case uses rubber well-nut mounting points to significantly reduce noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) transferred into the cabin.
Injection Molded Case: The main housing is injection-molded for maximum strength and consistent fitment, featuring removable access covers for easy coil servicing.
Quiet High-Performance Blower: Engineered for maximum airflow with minimal noise, even at high speeds.
Electronic Control Panel: Includes a new, vehicle-specific electronic control panel that fits into your original dash location for a seamless, factory-integrated look.
Complete Kit: Under-Hood & Interior
This "Complete Kit" is an all-in-one solution that includes both the evaporator unit and every necessary under-hood component:
Inside the Dash: Gen 5 Evaporator unit, vehicle-specific mounting brackets, and the control panel.
Under the Hood: Sanden-style compressor, mounting brackets (specific to your engine), and a high-flow condenser with brackets.
Plumbing: Preformed refrigerant lines, an OEM block-type expansion valve, a drier, all necessary fittings, and a flat steel firewall cover for a clean engine bay appearance.
Documentation: Detailed, step-by-step installation instructions for a successful project.
Performance Benefits
Beyond standard cooling, the SureFit system provides "blend air" technology. This allows you to mix hot and cold air instantly to defrost your windshield or maintain a precise cabin temperature, regardless of the weather outside.
