I finally got around to putting in a Vintage Air. My heater core had a small leak (fixable) but the vacuum control for the air doors seemed unfixable so I decided to make the change. Of course there is no sure fit system for a Pontiac and the Chevy system, although similar, won't fit either. So I did it my way trying to keep as close to a stock appearance as possible.

Step 1 is kiss your glove box goodbye. I did recut mine so I at least had room to store the registration and proof of insurance but little else.

For the condenser I ordered the kit for a 64 GTO. I wanted the lower mount furnished with it as that factory bolting for the center bracket in a 61 is very similar to the 64 GTO. I had to modify it tor a single bolt but the result is about 1/2 inch space between the radiator and the condenser. Also I wanted the 90 degree bend #8 condenser inlet tube. I could bent the #6 outlet tube I needed as the tubes furnished for the 64 put the drier onto the inner fender which I didn't want to do.
