As for the Relative ability of a factory AC system all I can say is I’ve driven these cars for 40 years and a properly functioning factory 60s GM Air conditioning system filled with R12 keeps the car wonderfully cool in any weather. Most complaints about fan speed typically are actually a problem caused by 50 years worth of gunk blocking the heater core and or the evaporator Thereby restricting airflow.

I concur.......the stock A/C on my 69 has been freezing me out of the car for 50 years

Yeah your both right. Forget my original post. The ac is the best thing I ever added to my 71. To the op. Go for it. Spend 3000 bucks converting to old technology. Thanks for correcting my opinion.
