if money isn't an object get one of the universal hot rod air con set ups from the states - very universal.
Anything else requires a lot of cutting and welding to fit

John, I don't think any jappa air con units will fit, I had a rav4 one in mine but I don't have the engine in the front so was able to use the full length of the dash. The rav4 was one of the skinniest ones I found though. I was going to try a unit out of a van, some of the mitsi and toyota sport vans have a seperate aircon in the back with vents on the roof pointing down but was run in series with the main aircon unit.
The main aircon out of a van wont fit as it's to tall.
Some of the older titan and isuzu trucks have little aircon units but are 24volts
