I would look into an aftermarket dryer from the same place that will fabricate your hoses. 

As for the condenser, a sure bet is a used one from a late model Vanagon. 

What about placing an evaporator with fans in a custom box between the front seats? This would give you cool air in front and back.

I myself been handling no air for the parts 5 years in hot summers living in Mesa AZ. But now that we have a 2 year old son and twins coming in June, wife feels this would be a great addition for us to use my Vanagon in the summer picking up the kids from daycare, etc. Looks like the Dodge Grande Carivan A/C unit will fit behind/in the back side cabinet like it is installed in the carivan. To help reduce back area from getting hot, having the windows tinted.
