Default '72 Evaporator/aftermarket??

As many of you may remember, my '72 is a total hotrod, nothing stock, NOTHING,.....and so being old and in FLORIDA, both the car and I NEED air conditioning......

the evaporator leaks, not terrible, but it leaks.....I converted to serp drive long ago, with a Denso? compressor like on a '88091 vette, custom hoses, and not long ago replaced the condenser bought a leak detector and am running 134......

I hear that there are aftermarket systems out there, but what I need is something damn similar to the INSIDE dimension in the passenger compartment, I would not mind seeing the blower motor stay under the fender, and the evap housing removed and placed under the dash, or maybe just closer to the firewall, and stay in the engine bay......

The valving I have has been modified years ago to ensure good flow and good cooling....but I don't care if they are removed/changed....but one thing, turning the comp on/off is just annoying even though most cars do it that way today.....

SO who makes what?? and will sell the components necessary to get job done.....without wasting money buying stuff I don't need....
BTW, the fuel injection computer is hung behind the map pocket in front up top, next to the ducting....
and I want the interior ducting to look the same on the dash...no hangers on......

Vintage Air has a complete Kit for the 72. I believe you can get it with the serpentine belt option.
