I installed two VA units one in my 66 Elky & one in my 64 Elky.
& the blower blows a lot of air way more than my 66 Malibu with
factory air. The heat don't work worth a damn. I'm in Dallas TX.
So you know I need the AC. But this was 7 yrs ago I installed them.

If your VA blower don't put out a lot of air check the (cheesy)
plastic cage fan, both of mind destroyed themselves. They have
a "D" shaped hole that fits the "D" shaped motor shaft, what happens
is the thin plastic fan cracks & slips on the motor shaft.

When I ordered new ones I machined an aluminum spacer that reinforced
the fan top & bottom. No trouble since.
