After reading this, I see a major wintertime project in my future.
Does the under dash evaporator box also contain the heater core ?

The original heater core is removed and replaced with a combination unit.
If you went to photobucket.com and enetred <pyoas>, it will take you to a page that will allow you to find my installation. I have captions listing everything used. I have replaced the original factory condensor since the photos.
I installed two vents in the center where the speaker grill is. They are 2.5" and will be replaced with 3.5" vents. I also installed a vent near each door opening and thios really helps throw the cool air across the whole width of the compartment. The hoses that connect the center and outer vents will get a "Y" vent in between them that will direct AC or heat to the feet areas.
The heater really works nice and even across the whole inside. Same goes for the AC cool air. I measured 44 degrees coming out of the center vents! An thermostatically controlled electric fan in front of everything takes care of any engine temp. The fan also works without the AC turned on so it does double duty.
I have seen brackets that attach to the generator bracket for other AC installations and I went with Bret's because it is much stronger and "clutter free". It's hard to image hanging a compressor <span style="text-decoration: underline">and</span> alternator off the small origianl generator bracket "ears" and it lasting long or a simple overtightening or missing spacer washer cracking the original bracket. I went with what I thought was the best.
