The Vintage Air GEN 5 SureFit Evaporator Kit (561244) is a complete in-dash evaporator system engineered for 1967-68 Camaro and Firebird models that did not come with factory air conditioning. This is an evaporator-only kit — it includes the evaporator unit and mounting brackets, louvers where required, duct hose, wiring harness, and Vintage Air's patented Electronic Cable Converters so the system can use your factory-style controls, but it does not include the compressor, condenser, or other under-hood components needed for a full A/C system.
