I used to have a '72 911 that had a retrofit A/C fitted. The condenser was big and flat and mounted under the vehicle. Makes sense in that the 911 has no front grille opening. At first I thought that it was wierd but it did actually work. Worked until road debris wore a hole in it that is. Also I had to be moving for the condenser to give up heat from the freon (no fan) and the floors would be a little warmer than without the A/C unit.
