    Out of curiosity, has anyone looked into adapting an electrically-driven
    A/C unit for their car? Lots of late-model minivans (I'm thinking
    specifically of the Chevy Astro and Chrysler Voyager) had electric A/C
    units in the rear roof which ran independently of the main A/C. It
    would probably mean upgrading alternators (as well as recasing the units
    to make them look at home in the Pug), but sounds a lot more appealing
    than adding in all the wiring, plumbing, etc. And not being
    belt-driven off of the engine, you can save a few ponies...
