You will probably want the whole cabinet to do this swap.  To make just the
door fit on the AC cabinet would be quite a challenge because it actually
fits inside the opening on the cabinet when it is closed.  So you would
have to make the opening pretty precise.  Also the inside of the AC cabinet
will have all kinds of insulation residue, etc in it.  Not that you
couldn't clean it out.  You could also make the door work so it would look
and work OK.  It just wouldn't be like stock.  Depends on how nice/original
you want your van.   If I was going to "make do" with a fabricated
solution, I would fabricate the door, hinges, latch too.  Maybe some
melamine material from the DIY store.  Or nice plywood painted or covered
with contact paper to match or contrast with the rest of the
interior.  Finally, I have one of these cabinets I would probably sell, but
it is awfully big and heavy and I am in NC, so packing and shipping it
would be a hassle.
