That's the plan. The smaller compressor footprint will also help it to disappear in the engine bay under the alternator.
Once I get further along, then I can work out the condenser and hose arrangement. I am either going to run a retro aftermarket underdash unit, or an aftermarket trunk mounted unit. I havent decided which yet. The truckmounted unit lets me go with a much bigger evaporator, but then I am freezing the back-seat folks. While the underdash unit is much smaller, and allows me to target the air vents. Which may be better for the front seat folks. Maybe run one in back, and one in front!
Now that would be neat.
This is just for the A/C, I will retain the Packard heater setup, and all the controls for it.
