Smallest air con unit?
Discussion
I’ve been using my 75’ MGB as a daily driver for the last couple of years, it has been slightly modified with a MX5 engine and several other creature comforts (heated seats etc). With the unusual English weather of the moment, it got me thinking could I fit an air con to the car and at the same time eliminate the useless MGB heater. It’s not the best of fun coming out of the car with my top stuck to my sweaty back. I know the MX5 came with an air con so the compressor should be easy to source.
Question is, does anyone know of any small heater/ air con housings small enough to fit behind the dash? I know I’d probably have to cut some part of the bulkhead to fit it but I’m just trying to find the smallest unit out there.
Aware that carbuilders.com have a compact unit but they don’t have any way of directing air flow, and if I was going to do it, I might as well do it properly.
Any ideas are welcome!

You might ask the mods to shift your post to the Kit Car forum, as it's quite a common issue for the kit car boys.
Most compact units I'm aware of are those offered by car builder solutions, but there may be others.

You really ought to watch from Episode 1, but if you are short of time, in this one they start their Cardboard Assisted Design extravaganza to fit a proper heater/Air con about 19 minutes in.
