The Vintage Air Evaporator Kit 70-81 Firebird (Part #564415) is designed for enthusiasts restoring or upgrading second and third-generation Pontiac Firebirds. This kit serves as the cooling heart of a modern air conditioning system retrofit, replacing aging or failed original equipment with a compact and efficient unit tailored for your engine bay.
The evaporator core functions as the refrigerant-side heat exchanger, absorbing cabin heat and humidity. It utilizes aluminum fins and tubes to facilitate the passage of low-pressure refrigerant while cabin air flows across them, generating cold air on demand. Vintage Air has engineered this unit to fit seamlessly within the tight quarters of 1970s–1981 Firebird dashboards without requiring modifications to factory brackets or floor pans.
Restorers and street-machine builders will find this kit particularly beneficial when undertaking a complete A/C system overhaul or replacing a failed original evaporator. The assembly is compatible with R-134a and hybrid refrigerants, ensuring versatility in refrigerant use. Its design aligns with Vintage Air's modular system architecture, making installation straightforward and efficient.
