Then after seeing Andre's resto and learning the benefits of a newer more efficient system, I figured I'd go with the vintage air set up. Ideally, doing a bit of custom job and hiding the long rubber hoses that look terrible (IMO) and clutter the engine bay... (One of my favorite things about old car engine bays is the lack of clutter- keeps things clean and simple)
Anyway, not sure if this block off plate is something that I will need or if I can re-use the old bits since I was going to route my hoses within the fender.
Do you have any pics? I'm always interested in learning something new. And exploring new ideas

It was just a thought I know it's a big hit but just remember the V/Air hoses run under the fender they were very frustrating to do with the fender off can't imagine doing them with the fender on also the firewall block off plates where the hoses run through you have to have the fender off to install the plate for the hoses just thinking would be much easier with eng out and fender off these might help..
If you plan on using any other compressor than theirs the hoses come with the comp side fittings removed you have to clock them and then have them crimped then get them through the firewall can be done but getting them through the firewall with the fittings in is a bitch.
