From what I can tell by disassembling both a '48 and a '56 heater box is that it will take at least two boxes to make it work. There isn't enough room in a single box to fit both a heater core and an evaporator core, plus all the flapper valves to direct airflow, etc.

As soon as I can make it back up to my parts car I'll be robbing the heater box off of it and bringing it down here to make a mockup. I've also got a couple of modern parts cars that will make perfect donors for things like compressors, lines, evaporators, condensers, etc. I've got almost everything I need to make a proper mockup of parts and to see if it would all fit where I need it to, as well as work and look factory original, even though it won't be.
