It could work though it's not straightforward. Given the 31in height it will take some revision to place it under the dash. Tipping it on its side would require redesigning the condensate drain system. How the guts of the unit are arranged will determine the effort required to do this.
The other issue to consider is heat output. Dash heat in my 93 is abysmal, worse than the 77 of all things. Ostensibly based on core size and water temperature it should produce 35,000btu per hour, that it doesn't seem close to that is a problem for another post. For here and now the issue is that the proposed unit puts out about a third of the original. That could be fine depending on when and where travel occurs, then again your kishkas (Yiddish innards) could freeze. I like my kishkas warming at a minimum.
I applaud the effort to improve the performance of the dash HVAC. Given how pathetic mine is I too am searching for a better solution.
