Not Just Aftermarket Air Conditioning!
Classic Auto Air's Perfect Fit ELITE™
model specific systems are not your typical, one-size-fits-all, low-quality, aftermarket air conditioning system. Every component was chosen for its superior design and quality rather than a low cost. Our RETROFIT designs give OE quality combined with better than original performance and reliability.
The Perfect Fit ELITE™
1970-72 Chevelle, El Camino air conditioning system is engineered to actually fit a 1970-72 Chevelle, El Camino. It comes equipped with carefully sized, large, separate A/C and Heat coils just like factory (OE) systems, not combined A/C/Heat coils often found on aftermarket systems. The separate coils improve the cooling and heating capacity of the total system.
