I am in the process of installing the vintage air evaporator and was watching Allan's video and noted that my evaporator is different. The 5/8 radiator hose fittings are on the same side as the #6 and #10 fittings. Also, in Allan's video the the #6 hose from the dryer is above the #10 from the compressor. Mine #6 and #10 the opposite position. My major concern is a clearance issue with the 5/8 hose and the side of the cab wall. As anyone see this before and my next question why would they be different? I want to make sure I have the right evaporator before I try to install. With the radiator hose in this location it will not make the passenger leg room area look very professional. If someone has some pics of their installation with this configuraton I would appreciate to see them. Thanks

It's right. It's a tight fit, but it works.
With the new design evaporator case from vintage air what fittings are you using to connect the #10 hose? The older model had the #10 on the bottom and a 90 degree fitting would work. With it on the top and the #6 on the bottom not sure want will work. A straight runs into the passenger side wall.
Also, I would like to see how the heater hose attaches to the evap case. I bent the copper tubes on the evap case pretty far in-board to for clearance but still see a problem.

It's dang tight with that set up. PM your email, I'll send you a pic.
