I mounted the Vintage Air Gen II and had to remove the passenger side wiper arm linkage to clear the a/c case under the dash. To make it fit and still have wipers, I had to weld in a 5" arch to the linkage and then cut out the middle of the arch there it crashed into the a/c case. I am almost ready to wire it and connect the hose ducts if I can reach up inside the glove box far enough. The glove box is only 2 inches deep after installing the unit. I had to modify the L shaped hanging bracket because one sharp edge would have worn through the plastic case in a few miles. If I had it do to over, I wouldnt have added a/c.

Ranger Pat-
I also lost the glove box but didn't experience the other problems with the wipers or the L bracket and I also have a 56 and used the Gen II unit. I wonder what's up????????
