Hire it done. Easier on your body and emotions. Not to mention you'll enjoy it more. 

I installed the VintageAir system on my '75 a few years ago -- it was a challenge but I did get through it.  I was in my '70s and not a small man, so crawling around under the dash was a bit stressful.

As you probably know, there are a lot of pieces that need to be brought together, and it did seem a bit overwhelming at times.  But their instructions are very good, and their phone support is great.

Best of luck! 

Thanks

You certainly get my good wishes!    Hope it goes well.👍

In fact, I'll be interested to hear how it does go - I read recently that people swap their stock system for a Vintage Air set-up, which are supposed to be better?    

That said, at 72 I'm not sure I want to get into that swap!😱

Thank you , I’ll post some pictures of my progress 

Good luck my friend. Me too going through interior work. I had seats redone over a year ago and well, it's still not ready to install them. Crawling around inside the cabin ain't what it used to be. It's been excruciating hot this summer and I could not find any good days to fold myself up and install the rear underlayment, interior carpet, 3 door assembly, etc.

As for the air, I would think at this point farm it out. I know how enticing it is to browse through catalogs and buy stuff for cool projects.....

One thing about the VintageAir is that it eliminates the outside air duct, which means it is always recirculating the inside air.  I was getting a lot of hot air intrusion in the summer (I assume from the vent doors not sealing completely) so this was eliminated with the new setup.

I run my factory air in Max/recirc 100% of the time.  It's the only a/c setting to use.
