So one thing I've found a bit frustrating is the dearth of AC install threads around these parts. There's a pretty good Old Air one and a Vintage Air one I can't seem to find again, but that's about it. I've scoured the site for the little tidbits here and there... a pic, a mention of the unit, etc.
I chose the Old Air Hurricane based on @jetranger and @imabigbangkindaguy's usage and install. In addition, the fact that Jonathan Ward used it for his 1st and 2nd Gen ICON's played a factor.
I've gone with the 2100 unit. The hot water and refrigerant lines exit the side and will pass through the firewall. I've purchased a bulkhead fitting to pass the hoses through.
So here's the bare unit.
I wasn't happy with the louvers offered by Old Air. I really liked the ones that I'd seen ICON using, so I called them. Their parts department was really cool. They use Vintage Air Billet Aluminum louvers and they gave me the part number from Summit (where they get theirs). I picked a slightly different style... but the quality on these is amazing!
If you'd like any other pictures/photos of anything chime in. Now's the time for me to take photos of the kit in an uninstalled condition.
I'll keep this updated as I go with copious install photos.
