I recently completed installing and charging a Classic Auto Air Street Rod Cooler III (fully electronic) system in my 1982 242. Grew weary of a factory system that, in my experience, was never able to keep up with hot, humid southeast summers. It's an all new HVAC system blowing through the factory dash/defrost vents. DID NOT hook up the rear floor heat ducts. No need in my climate.

I recently pulled out the Ford 5.0L V8 that had powered the car for 19 years and put in an LS3. Decided that while the motor swap was ongoing was the time to do the HVAC swap. Initial functioning is all thumbs up -- 38F air and enough of it to cause some fogging on the outside of the side window glass while idling/charging in the garage.

Not going to post details here -- but if anyone wants more info, just reach out to me here and we'll take the conversation offline via email, text, phone, etc.
