I will try to explain: The evaporator is located up front where the header tank used to be. The condenser is located behind the passenger seat. It is fed with a NACA scoop under the pax seat and an exhaust about 16 inches behind the entrance of air. I will try to get some pictures of the belly area next week. I purchased the condenser from an aircraft A/C company in Ft. Worth. All other parts were provided by Vintage Aire here in San Antonio, TX. The system works superbly, even on a 100 degree day in SAT.
