It appears the car sold for slightly over 3K -- or at least the price box said there was a winning bid. Maybe the new owner will join us and fill in the blanks.

Looks like a typical hang on aftermarket unit from the hose routing -- out of compressor to a clamp on fender and then to an opening on the firewall by the heater. Have not found a picture of any evaporator unit exactly like it though. S-P had one in 58 models that looks somewhat similar but the S-P grill appears to have larger squares in the round opening -- and I think it is deeper. One thing I am curious about is the chromish box on top of compressor. Is it part of the unit or not.
