Itinerant Air-Cooled

So the missus and I are considering selling her modern daily (volvo S40) and replacing it with a beetle. Then the other 98 degree 80% humidity day, she backpedaled a little. But you used to drive one and not complain about the weather I pointed out. But I'm not 22 anymore. I wear nice things now she retorted. But I can put one of those hotrod AC units in and you'll be kept fresh as a daisy. So volksfolks, the question is do these work? Anyone had an experience with them?

In '96 I drove a new Mexican Beetle in Mexico, equipped with AC. It was a serious tax on the engine and I'd not consider it. Seemed like a bad idea. My experience mind you.

Gilmore Enterprises make ac for air cooled, I have even seen one. They are in Florida and on the web.
