OUR ONLINE CHECKOUT is CLOSED and we are NOT accepting any NEW orders at this time.

We are still fulfilling and shipping previously submitted and/or delayed order requests (as product availability allows) UNTIL NOVEMBER 15th 2022.

But after November 15th, all still pending backordered unshipped items will be automatically CANCELLED **(except for any special ordered drop-shipped or made/machined-to-order items).

Our ability to respond to emails is greatly hampered by being under-staffed during this downsize transition time. But we continue to endeavor to answer email inquiries as best we can. And we will continue responding to emails through until early March 2023 because we are wholly committed to resolving any other issues that may arise from previous sales. It is still UNCERTAIN, but we may re-open a substantially downsized version of our store again in the Spring of 2023.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding during this period of restructuring and/or closing. And a huge thank you to all of you whose support and loyalty we have been the beneficiary of over the 23 years that we have worked diligently to support the information and parts needs of the aircooled VW community!

Air Conditioner Kit, 1958-78 Standard Beetle, Black Textured Under Dash Unit
Air Conditioner Kit, 1958-78 Standard Beetle, Black Textured Under Dash Unit
 
Air Conditioner Kit, 1958-78 Standard Beetle, Black Textured Under Dash Unit are the finest quality A/C Kits available for your VW. These blow ice cold on even the hottest days (no exaggeration!), and the installation is such that you are not hacking up your car! 290CFM fan moves a LOT of air volume to keep the cabin cool! These have been installed in dozens of show winning vehicles, but the more common usage is in daily drivers! We provide compressor mounting for stock carburetors, or any dual carburetors you may be using, so no matter what you have we have a kit for your car!
This model uses the Black Textured Under Dash Unit. Unlike the original AC Conversions, this kit retains the use of your crankshaft pulley, and a single fan belt, so your crank pulley choices are completely up to you!
The Evaporator Unit is mounted in a location that gets a lot of cool air, other kits choose "poor" mounting locations (with bad air flow), and the Evaporator and Fan Assembly are KEY in how much heat the AC System can remove from the interior of your car!

Make sure you specify the year and model of your car, AND what carburetor(s) you have, in the Special Instructions Field during checkout, so we can double check for any selection errors!

Shipping to Hawaii is possible, but will result in an additional cost (as you guys already know!).

This model uses the Black Textured Under Dash Unit.

You do not need a machine shop or a fully equipped garage to install this kit, normal hand tools, a couple hole saws, and an electric drill are all that's needed! You only need to drill Five (5) holes through the body, Four (4) for the A/C Hoses, and One (1) for the Evaporator Drain Hose. These kits use environmentally friendly R134A Refrigerant, and use a modern rotary A/C Compressor, for minimal vibration and power loss. In fact, these compressors take less than 1.5hp to drive at full output! This means that even the meager 40hp VW Engine will be able to drive this compressor, so you can drive your beloved VW in the heat of Summer without having to always bring a change of clothes with you!

5 of 5 installation went smooth September 8, 2015
Reviewer: Andrig Miller from Louisville, CO United States  
I don't have the system charged yet, but I have been impressed by by how easy it was to install.  My bug is a baja bug with lots of customizations, and I was afraid that the two hoses from the compressor would not be long enough. But there was plenty of slack to get around the exhaust and still reach the condenser and the evaporator under the dash.  I'll update after it's charged.
