Rear AC and frame notching question???

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?
