Anyone installed the Restomod Air aftermarket AC?

Has anyone here successfully installed this system? Any fitment issues, does it cool well, etc.? I posted a similar question on one of the Facebook forums about a year ago and all I heard was "the kit is crap" and "install is a pain" with no real data, photos, or backup for any of those claims. These guys are 5 minutes from my house and have been extremely helpful over the phone thus far, but can't refer me to anyone who's actually installed their system other than their re-seller, Midwest Military Equipment.

I was very close to getting this kit but I couldn't imagine paying that much for A/C, at that rate I'll sell my M1123 and get one of the A/C trucks, I ended up with a small mini split unit: 12000BTU 24V Air Conditioner Split Truck AC Cooling Unit Fit Semi Bus RV Caravan | eBay

The only thing is you need to find a good spot for the evaporator, I have the box top so I put it in the back and ran hoses from the A/C unit to the driver compartment. These pictures are a bit old, but I done some extra work with the hoses to run 4 vents in the driver compartment, it does a great job with keeping me cool in even 90-100 degree weather.

Yeah at $5k now, I bowed out. I think we’re going with a cold master 22k BTU dual evaporator kit… just can’t figure out a clean way to mount the condenser to the stack yet.

I'll just mount it directly on top of the radiator like the H1's

That's the plan... just cant find a good bracket system without having something custom made. I've seen several guys zip tie it down, but I don't trust that as far as I can throw it.
