AC in a 122 120-130

I've been reading the old posts, but thought I'd throw this out there to see if there are any updates.

I've replaced the generator with an alternator, the last thing I needed to do before installing AC. I've been browsing the Old Air/Vintage Air/Classic Air web sites enough to be thoroughly confused, so before I try to reinvent the wheel I thought I'd ask if anyone has a complete system recommendation. Has anyone put together, or know of a system that fits the Amazon?

Ideally I'd like to install an AC/heat/defroster, and I'd prefer to not install the old FrigiKing big box type unit. I'm toying with the idea of fabbing a new dash that doesn't have the passenger handle, ashtray or (hopefully redundant) heater/defrost controls so I can fit diffusers in the dash. As I said, "ideally". Summer's coming and I live in Texas, so I'm open to anything!

About all I'm sure of is I'll use Bob's Brackets for the compressor, which won't be a York, use bulkhead fittings instead of rubber grommets for hoses, and coat the inside of the cabin with multiple coats of Lizardskin.

Any and all information is appreciated!
