Oh Heck!  I forgot to take pics during my recent annual inspection.   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.
