Technical Cheap electric A/C conversion kit

Hey guys I’ve got a stock ‘63 Impala without a/c. I have heard of vintageair a/c kits and was considering one but heard they’ve been having problems and the price. I just heard about electric a/c kits on eBay for like $600.
Is this too good to be true? Can I add this to my impala without too much hassle,expense and not cramping out after a year since it’s made in China?

 

You know what they say, cheap is cheap
.

there a couple other brands other than vintage air.
There are some AC ice chests also. Maybe look into those. Some are US made. If that matters.

I just read this article a few days ago so it is a fresh in my head.
This is what vintage air says about electric AC

Now that being said, I am pretty sure the Tesla is electric AC and I would imagine most of the new hybrids are probably electric AC but I also can just about guarantee they require a ton of amperage (watts) and time and technology doesn't seem to have changed this much over the last 30 or 40 years.

 

if your in a an area that gets heavy snow cheap A/C may help to keep you cold in winter.

 

It won't work. Use the search function. It's been discussed several times.

Search for "electric air conditioner" and "electric air conditioning".

 

There is a good AC thread going here, you should read it. Real AC only kits start at $1000 and go up from there.

 

Do you have a link to the thread? I’ve not noticed it before.
Or are you speaking of the one regarding vents?

 

Yes, the vent post but good information on vendors too.
