I'd think a custom unit that looks more military would be better.
I'm thinking about this for my 5 Ton but it's
going to be a longer wait and probably a spring
of next year project.
Buy a compressor, fit it to the belt/mountings as
traditional. Find a correct size AC coil and fit
it either in the engine compartment or down low
under the vehicle in a protected place with it's
own electric fan. Find a compact multi layer heat
exchanger that can fit inside one of the Heater
blower packages or make up a double size heater
blower package that will allow the inclusion of a
flap for selecting heat or AC for the flow path
of the air. Add an additional switch for the AC
compressor's clutch and a push/pull handle for
the blower package's flap.
That would work well I think, and look bloody stock.
