The unit is a modified small evaporator available for
purchase from a place called Hotrodaire in Fl.

The real solution, I believe, is to place a simple
evaporator coil in the air stream in front of the
existing heater/air box - you know, in that funny long
cavity in the body. Then you would have the option of
dehumidfiying defrost air as well as using the
existing air distribution system to push cooled air
not only through the dash vents, but in a Westie out
the side vents along the roofline as well.
