John, I have an automotive type of Air Conditioning in my L4P but it is not 
that easy to solve all the issues. Mine is an AERO COOL system 
(http://www.flybymike.com) sold through Lancair. You can't use the "mixing 
valve" for AC because that is where your Pressurization comes in and you need 
an emergency pressure dump in case of smoke in the cockpit or several other 
abnormalities. Also, the air from pressurization coming in the is warm and 
with that routed by your feet and the AC above you remain just right.
BTW, the AC is a No GO item for me now, it is so so nice. It was 100* in Bend 
last week and 104* in the cockpit when I closed the door and the AC had it 
down to 84* after only about 2 or 3 min. The air at the back of my head was 
70*. I turned it off climbing through 14K after having it on low in full sun. 
When I landed, that airport was 80*, and with it on Lowest Fan and Temp. 
setting, I was too cold in my shorts and had to turn it off while taxing. It 
has paid for itself many times.
Demo's at OSH if I'm parked where I can start it.
