72RustBucket Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Hey everyone, looking for some information on the hvac ductwork behind the dashboard. All of my hard plastic parts are in good shape, but there is some hose or duct that was basically disintegrated when I got to it. You probably know what I'm talking about, it has a wire frame like a slinky. I'm just looking to buy everything I need for behind the dashboard. Summit sells 18 inch sections, they list needing 2 and I just wanted to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I know that the duct work is all sold at the parts place but they are all separate.But they list every different size nothing specific. If someone knows the diameter and length of each piece that would help me also. A kit so to speak for each year (probably the same) with or without air conditioning. That’s actually something I know is going to hold me up on reassembly because P.O. threw them away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to find this https://www.originalair.com/1970-72-chevelle-malibu-el-camino-monte-carlo-sprint-ac-flex-hose-duct-set-2-202-5-2-202-13-2-1015-3 But for some reason it doesn't feel right lol. Vintage air has a diagram with hose OD and lengths, but again not sure if for orginal or their unit. They list 2 inch hoses Driver defrost duct- 18 in Passenger defrost duct- 12 in Center louver- 20 in (might be two of these) 2.5 inch hoses Driver side louver- 32 in Passenger side louver- 36 in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72RustBucket Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 It looks like factory hose sizes are 1.5 inch and 3 inch. Unsure on lengths but it's not much. I just ordered 5 ft lengths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get the dash back together? What were the hose sizes and lengths you got to do the under dash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbolt Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 The duct that goes to the passenger side is closer to 4" diameter. The Parts Place has it listed with a picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
