Rear AC and frame notching question???

[GM man]

Got a few questions for all you experts...

1st, has anyone attempted to install a rear AC out of maybe a Yukon/Tahoe in one of our Jimmy/Blazers? I know you fellas from up north may not have, but spend a summer in Texas and you'll find a way to have some AC. My factory AC would be great in a pickup, but there's no way it can cool the inside of a Jimmy/Blazer. Don't know if the Vintage/Old Air products put out that much more air, but seems like somebody would have tried a rear AC. Just exploring options as I gear up for my 6.0 swap.

2nd, initially I was completely opposed to notching the frame for the AC compressor fitting, but after looking at a ton of compressor relocation options I'm coming back to it and wondering if there is a way to notch and then reinforce the frame around the notch?? From brackets to aftermarket compressors, it seems like another $$ dump that might could be avoided.

3rd, what brand is the factory compressor?

I've thought about using the guts from a van or Suburban rear heat/AC unit to build a custom unit that would go right behind my front seat. My wife's car has the rear heat and AC built into the back of the center console.

I am definitely no expert but here is a link to a van website.

I've been working out a plan to add rear. Using a 99-07 Tahoe/Yukon unit.

Post up what you do. I have one of these complete units, with wiring harness and the upper console with controls. All just sitting in the garage waiting for other projects to finish. One day it will go into my Suburban.
