new ac system added to old car?

jrm · Mar 17, 2016

I am considering adding ac to my 880, it didnt come w it and the wiring is original, my question, will the existing wiring work w the added load or would a wiring harness upgrade be needed?
Thanks. John.

Define "adding a/c".
Exactly how do you plan on adding it.

Buying a complete system from restomod or another and adding it to the current fuseblock, wiring.

Just give it it's own dedicated fused circuit and you're good to go.

I bought a after market system for a 63 Chrysler 300 J and changed my mind. All but compressor. $75 if you want it.

I'm putting a Mk IV under dash unit (knee freezer) from VintageAir in our Polara wagon. It was the only one that has the capacity that I think will be required to cool a barn that size down (Estimated 25,000 BTU IIRC) . It will also look like it belongs there too as it is the same unit that would have likely been dealer installed in a non A/C car.

I bought it at Carlisle from these guys in NC. Good price and great customer service.
