1st Gen AC options

Anyone with an early 1st Gen ever do, or have you seen, an after market AC installed? My '83 . . I bought a NOS dealer install kit for the engine. It's the compressor bracket, idler pulley, water pump pulley ,etc . all in one kit. It's what the dealerships would have used in '83 if someone wanted AC installed, if it didn't come with it. It was a lucky score. However, now what? I can't find an underdash evaporator that is small enough. It's the depth that is the issue. There isn't much depth under the dash. So I need a mini evaporator, if one exists, or ????????

Evaporator doesn't go in or under the dash

It goes in the blower/heater box in the engine bay

1983 will be different but similar, read here: https://www.therangerstation.com/for...cratch.160760/
