I have an '81 FJ40. I know there are lots of A/C posts but could not find one related to the install or fit of the Old Air Products Series 200 under dash unit. Has anyone installed this unit? How does it fit and does it work well? Any issues to deal with? www.oldairproducts.com

bump...
I'm in similar shoes--I've got a 1969 FJ40 that never had A/C and am moving to Central America in the future. I'm interested to do something like this too. I've got a Chevy Silverado 2012 5.3L engine inside though. Should keep in touch to let me know how your project goes. A/C is a few steps down the list for me.
I'd go with one designed for a 40... Or something more like this -->

Pull the original heater and replace with heat & A/C.
FYI: an 40s are hard to cool, leak air, & are metal boxes.

Have any pics of one of these installed? (as my name implies, I'm a noob, but pics are quite helpful to reverse-engineer)
No luck. Saw that when I googled, and figure two ducts could be run to the defrosters and then other two could run to the floor etc. I'm sure you could also run a T or Y in some of the ducts.
I have one of these in mine, I run 4 cooling ducts, no floor and 2 for defrost.
I removed the orig heater box to do it and installed under the glovebox, which I actually had to reduce in size to fit the defrost hoses.
i also installed dynamat and jute on the floor and installed new seals everywhere and i would say it is OK at best in summer (Im in Perth Aus and we hit 45 deg c in summer) the heating capacity is fine but we are minimum of 0 in winter (very occasional)

Hi Cam,
When you get a chance, could you send a couple pics?
if easier to email: tomhrrtl@gmail.com
Thanks!

I have this thread on my watch list. No new posts since June 2015 though.
Old Air- Hurricane AC unit install
That said I am looking at going with the 2000 series unit at some point (with some mods to incorporate the factory blower as a booster so I can keep the option of fresh air or recalculated air)
But as has been noted, without aa major insulation/sealing effort do not expect miracles.
