my foot hits the vent duct by the gas pedal. My only complaint.

Is that a feature of the conversion, to have a floor ducting there? Or stock? Mine doesn't use any of that those.

I like my stock setup, the whole reason I went that was way for original appearance and at the time there was limited aftermarket anyway and still largely universal. I also started with nothing whereas sometimes that's enough of a reason to get new everything. Mine can still be adjusted down enough to freeze and still cycle so it certainly has the cooling capability, it also has the weight and perhaps limited economy. I doubled the engine HP so I'm not too worried about that! If the compressor ever plays up, they are hugely common and standard to just put another one on, not always the case with some aftermarket setups that come and go, Sanden is fairly safe and common. Comes down to the guy and what he wants and access to either setup.
