<VV> A/C condensor location?

[Harry Yarnell]

I installed a 'suitcase' condenser in the trunk, mounting it with two L
channels. The floor of the trunk was cut out and a puller fan was mounted to
the bottom of the condenser.
A false trunk floor was created over the condenser from an aluminum trunk
cover from a Chevette.
There was enough air leakage to satisfy the condenser, and on a late model,
there's a louvered vent on the left side to provide the needed air. Worked
great.

With all the talk about spares in the trunk and condensers here and there,
has anyone thought about a condensor into the space normally taken up by the
spare in the engine compartment? With a couple of 9 inch fans, a long
rectangular condensor would fit horizontally, could blow air thru the fins
and down into the aft wheel well After cutting out the tin there, and adding
a deflector.
Any yes's or nay's welcome, but be specific as to why or why not. Yes, I am
contemplating a/c for my 62 coupe, but do not want to stress the engine with
an over the engine install and do not want to take up trunk space, either!
