NOTE: This unit does NOT include engine pulleys. You must determine if you have enough belt grooves on your water pump pulley and crank shaft pulley to add and operate the AC system. Steel and billet pulleys are available at an additional cost. Cars with factory AC should have enough grooves, but it should be verified.
All new design specifically for 1968-76 Corvette models without factory air conditioning. New separate heater and cooling coils and high volume blower give you OEM quality comfort, provide infinite dash and floor blending and retains the factory look inside your vehicle. Factory "wheel type" console controls are used. Sure Fit systems mount to existing holes in dash and firewall in most cases.
The Short And Long Of Chevy Water Pumps
Chevy Corvette mechanical short style water pumps measure 5-5/8??? high from the shaft down with the pilot shaft diameter measuring 5/8". Long style Chevy water pumps measure 7??? high from the shaft down, and the pilot shaft diameter was 5/8" as well. Corvettes were originally built with short water pumps. Do not mix and match pulleys from short and long water pump engines because this will cause pulley misalignment. An easy way to find out what style you have while your pump is still installed on the engine is to try to stick your hand between the water pump and timing chain cover. If you can slip your fingers in-between you have a long, if not you have a short.
