Dan,
While I don't have A/C in the Tiger, I did put one in My "RED TOI"
(See *Page 5 *of "My Life With Cars") Have your speakers on! (Heck, see
all the pages)

The unit was built by a Tampa, Florida company that specialized in
custom fit A/C for kit cars and Porsche. I'd have to ask my son for any
Mfr. ID, as he has the car now.
The condensers (yes there were 2 of them in series) were similar the the
small, 8 inch square x 2 inch thick with fans attached to mounting
brackets. They were mounted behind the front wheels, in "series".
Worked very nicely, I had similar ones (with their custom under dash
evaporator) in my Porsche 911S. If they work well in CA, and Las Vegas,
and Edwards AFB in the High Desert, I would guess they would work
anywhere. Especially good for Florida humidity. ("It ain't the heat,
it's the...")
I am not sure where I would put the condensers on a Tiger, as there is
not much room behind the wheels. The Porsche style after market
evaporator might be OK. I have seen a fan/evaporator unit from an older
Mazda fit very nicely under the dash.
