Shark-gill louvers on the back should allow the AC to work with that fairing on.
I love those domes, they're perfect for small stuff. Now that I've got an extra camera feed up there I can vent the rear cover and remove the tape from the A/C unit, mount a camera off to the side temporarily and watch it as it goes down the road to see if it's over pressurizing the cover or trying to come apart.

Once I'm sure the A/C unit can work properly I'll rebuild the rear cover with metal. That or remove it all together and replace it with a split unit like the one in slowmover's link, or a heat pump mounted in the top of the boat tail. This will have to do for now.

Next up is finishing the belly pan. This is where I wish I had a hoist.
