Alternative Thirdgen A/C system???

I know for a fact that a lot of U don't have working A/C in your thirdgen for one reason or another. Some just they plain don't work and for whatever reason U have not had them fixed-- and some don't want to give up the extra H.P. they rob even if they are turned off.

I ran across an alternative A/C system here.....even though it's not a thirdgen in the picture, I also know how resourceful thirdgenners are and figure U can certainly adapt this to your thirdgen!

I can see the thought process now - get the AC fixed at the shop the right way for give or take $1000 if everything needs replacing or....buy $200 generator, and a $200 new AC (cheaper if they're used) and install it yourself. This may actually be something we see a thirdgener do seeing as how it's SO MUCH CHEAPER than doing it the right way.

yeah, but I bet that window ac unit blows a HELL of alot colder than the normal stock AC which barely works even on a good day.
