Have any of you added air conditioning to your 69/70? I'm still shopping for a car, but if it doesn't come with air, I'd like to add it, I live in Las Vegas...

It can be done but a lot of parts involved so it can be expensive if you need everything and you want it to look factory.
If it's for a driver go with the Vintage Air. One stop shopping plus it fits and works great. Designed to use modern freon. The only thing I would change is to find and use the original Ford dash vents.

if you ever get one and want to add air back in 1990 a friend pulled a setup out of a 69 Mustang in SoCal. No compressor as too heavy to ship and I was going to buy a new one anyways. I was going to add it and a lot of other options I accumulated for my 70 GT350 vert but when Marti and Eminger reports came out I shelved the idea. Not advertised anywhere either. Just sitting in my attic.

Doesn't have to look factory, as long as it doesn't look bad and it works...

Thanks, I think I'd rather use a modern solution...
