I have an air conditioning unit for the 914, another part of my 20 year old clutter pile. I'm reluctant to chop the bottom out of the trunk for the huge condensor coil. It would need a new compressor and hopefully a smaller condensor coil could be made to work. How much work to install? Is it worth the effort?

Here is an electric AC system build thread.

Finding a suitable place to install the condensor coil and fan seems to be the biggest problem. A smaller under dash evaporator would save the center console, although it would also lessen effectiveness towards the driver position.
