EVAP KIT 78-82 VETTE W/A C GEN5

The EVAP KIT 78-82 VETTE W/A C GEN5 by VINTAGE AIR is purpose-built for classic Corvette enthusiasts restoring or upgrading the emissions control system on C3-generation vehicles equipped with factory air conditioning. This kit addresses a critical gap in modern restoration work: integrating compliant evaporative emission control without sacrificing the aesthetic integrity or functionality of vintage cooling systems. Whether you're performing a frame-off restoration or modernizing a street machine, this EVAP solution ensures your classic Corvette meets emissions standards while maintaining the authentic underhood appearance collectors and inspectors expect.

Designed specifically for 1978–1982 Corvettes with air conditioning, the EVAP KIT 78-82 VETTE W/A C GEN5 integrates the charcoal canister, vapor lines, and fuel system isolation components with minimal modification to existing A/C infrastructure. VINTAGE AIR engineered this generation 5 kit to work seamlessly with factory and aftermarket A/C systems, using high-quality materials that resist fuel vapors and temperature extremes under the hood. The modular routing allows experienced technicians to position components cleanly along the frame rails and inner fenders, reducing clutter while maintaining proper ventilation and accessibility for future service—a hallmark of professional-grade restoration hardware.

This kit is essential for builders planning a restomod or full frame restoration of air-conditioned C3 Corvettes, particularly those in states with strict emissions inspections or vintage car shows emphasizing originality and compliance. The 29.74 lb assembly ships in compact dimensions, making it convenient for shop storage and installation at your workbench before final engine bay assembly. Proper installation requires basic mechanical skills and familiarity with fuel system procedures; consultation of factory service manuals and VINTAGE AIR installation documentation ensures correct routing and pressure regulator function for long-term reliability.
