Not a Newell but we put a mini split unit in our 1979 MCI a few years ago. I don't have any pics but from memory:
We had to use a hole saw to cut thru the body into the bay.
We cut a large rectangular hole in the bay door and installed a louver type vent.
We used the same louvered vent for out gen.
Our A/C unit came with long pipes. We cut those to length. They recommended coiling them up but we had nowhere to mount(store) them.
We ducted the system thru the bus cooling/heat system.
We started on this project many yr ago as the bus A/C didn't work and I wanted to get rid of the huge heavy compressor in the rear when we built the tow hitch.
Our daughter is living in the bus 100+ miles from here while her house is built. If we go that way I'll take some pics. I don't remember it being a difficult job but everything seems to take a long time. Good luck. Mark
