Does anyone have knowledge of A/C in a 1930? If so, where did they put the condenser? I can't see any room.

Thank ED, I have a quote from Vintage Air for a solution. Only thing is that it requires a remote 14x20 condenser with fan that I don't have room for.

Munch, i don't know if they make them for Chevy, but i think Walker or Cool Craft make a combo radiator with a/c condeser built on the front 1930 ford model A's. It might fit in your grill shell. I see they make them for Chevy motor swap on inlet outlets
I'll see if i can find a picture.
The only other option that i have seen is remote location on an angle mounted under the car near the rear with an electric fan.
Here is the Walker radiator/a/c combo. Not cheap at $1049🤯 **(note the condenser lines on the lower right of the tank)

I didn't think you could mount them that far away. I guess as long as it is getting air, I assume thats the purpose of thr fsn...

Yes sir. As long as the condenser is getting good air flow (fan on remote location), it should work just fine. Don't think it makes much difference on length of lines. Buses, Vans, Suburbans with rear air have long lines back up front to condenser, they just have an aux evaporator on the long end of vehicle.
