I also used the Vintage Air set, but used a slightly different approach to positioning the compressor, using some of the used space on the side of the bonnet. See a drawing showing where all the components go (on another car), and then a couple of pictures on the car itself while being worked on.

I used the original heater controls for both AC and heater, and connected the Vintage air outlets to the original ones, adding a few unobtrusive ones under the dash for direct airflow.

Here's a (bad) picture of the dash with the added front vents: two in the center and one on each side
