How about a parallel electric/battery system with ample lithium battery capacity to drive an electric compressor. Plug in for battery recharge and a moderately sized solar panel for a little return of power on the road. When the battery hits a specified drain level, no more AC. In the winter the system would just power the heater fan. Pricey AC system, probably.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
