Big bulky, ugly. Ductwork fragile and leaky no matter how I tried to keep it together. Vacuum operated controls and mixing doors vs lower vacuum signal. Just a jenky system and on a good day worked like garbage. Imho just outdated technology that may have been cold, but distribution and mixing always sucked.

Here are a few pics from a project that I started back in 2011, 68 LeMans. Had the Evaporator flushed, acid washed, leak checked, Compressor rebuilt and installed new a Hearer Core and that's as far as it progressed.



it appears that the red circled holes in your pic are for larger sheet metal screws.
Let me know it you need any other details.

Blower motors were too weak, and drew high Amps. I sought the most capable used blower motor and was pleased with defrost and floor, but vents were as-you-said weak.

95 Lincoln towncar vents/defrost/floor are fantastic and quiet. Give me an idea on grafting that blower motor.
