new old car needs a/c

just got a 69 dart custom, with what looks like factory a/c. the only component that i think is missing is the box that mounts under the dash with the vents. I pushed the MAX AC button and i could hear and feel air but it wasnt cold and there wasn’t much volume of air. what can i do to check the a/c system myself without having to waste some freon? Oh when i push the button for a/c i don’t hear the compressor making any noises like the sound it makes when it clicks on and off. could it just…

its time to seperate the mopar men from the boys

the small switch located on the side of the evaporator core. it has a tube running to the core. it probably is the cut off switch to monitor the temp and not let it get too hot or cold (freeze up) so. will the air work without it? will it get too cold and freeze up, or stay too warm and not cool enough, or have no or little effect at all. so… what do you think and what do you KNOW> ?? im asking cause i don’t know.

Restoring AC

Hey guys it’s been a long time but my once hobby car now looks like it might be my transportation to work. So with that said it’s time to get the AC going on my 74 Dodge Dart. Everything is in one piece except the new heater core which needs to be installed. How difficult will it be to get the AC going after many years of non-service?

smoke from the heater core?

smokes coming out of the vents on my car. i saw the heater core was leaking just a tiny bit the other day. i know it needs to be changed but is that why its smoking?

Defroster hose

I have a 67 Barracuda whith two front defroster hoses that are falling apart. The driver’s side inlet is 2-1/4″ in diameter and the outlet (attaches to defroster vent) is 2-1/2″ in diameter. The passenger’s side inlet is 2″ and outlet is 2-1/2″ in diameter.

Does anyone know where i can locate hose either direct replacement or [b]something that might work?

I have looked through Year One and Paddock with no luck.

Thanks.
