Nope. I've planning on using the overhead unit that Chris mentions.
My problem is that a Tristar has a door opening on the driver side,
where the refrigerant lines come down from the overhead unit.

Someone DID install those lines into the pillar, though it is a tight
fit. That's probably the approach I'll go. Sure would be nice to find
a creative automotive AC shop locally.
