Rear evaporator
The one pictured may be available NOS (contact off line). The one in your pic is a bit small (note the coffin shape of the other). These were used in many cars but the one pictured was the one specified. Not that the shop that installed it used what they had on the shelf. the one you posted has been modified as far as the gas lines are concerned--the HI and Low were in the engine bay orig. In anycase I know where some NOS resides so if interested let me know.

how soon do you need it? working order? would a Koolair brand from my 3.8S with trunk mounted evap and parcel shelf registers work for you? dryer is in engine bay and hoses run along frame rail to rear. period electric fan assist at radiator.

Will post a few documents for the 'S'. I copied the front of the brochure in B/W as it makes the unique outlets very obvious. The install documents run some 50 pages. Jaguar USA worked very hard with the two major vendors on their kits. this one for the 'S' is well developed but not the final version. Enjoy---in future post

compressor mounting
I am using a "modern" rotary compressor. I was able to locate an original period York compressor mounting bracket, double crank pulley and idler. I utilized a universal mounting bracket for "York piston" to "rotary" compressor installation. Installation of retroair's alternator with the rear power steering pump take off completed the job.
Trial fit.

the only downside for a non original compressor besides originality is the loss of the isolation valves. Many times on a MK2 or similar the compressor needs to be removed to work on other issues. With the orig. valves you can isolate the system and you loose only a breath of gas. That said you can also use the valves to self vacuum the system to test and prepare for refill---very handy!
