jpar, this is a GREAT writeup! You have inspired me to maybe give this a shot because here in the south, i literally dont even look at my car for 5 months out of the year because of the extreme heat and humidity. Mine is a dart that originally had AC but like you, i dont want the compressor up on the top and especially not that monster original compressor. I have a few questions on this. As far as the evaporator, imguessing it also has the blower motor built right into the evaporator box, all self contained? Also, i would just run the lines inside the engine compartment but not sure where to have them come through the firewall as i would not want to cut new holes through it..any ideas there? Wonder if i could remove the factory evaporator from the heater box and run the hoses through the holes where the original evap lines stuck out? Of course then i would have to cut holes through the heater box inside the car to let the lines come out of it to connect to the evaporator. My only problem would be making the compressor bracket. Mine is a big block in a dart with no power steering and i also would want the compressor in the same spot you have yours in.
