Jim,
There a Sanden's of 'most any displacement you can think of, their model
number (509, 709, 715, etc) is the number of pistons, followed by the
displacement. A couple of years ago I got a manual from www.sanden.com with
a lot of such information. Seltec makes clones of the Sanden's; they claim
100% interchangeability with equivalent Sanden's.
But I don't know of anyone actually using two evaporators.

Ken,
Which model did you install?
My dash HVAC is stock (except the air-box mods to increase
air flow).
Which model (or models) would you suggest?
Thanks

Sorry, but I don't even know what the equivalent Sanden number is for the
Seltec I installed -- which number I also don't have. IIRC, it's a 9 ci
unit (the OEM A6 is 12 ci, IIRC). I bought it new off of eBay for $75 with
the serpentine pulley I required. The local A/C dealer told me the pulley
alone would have been almost twice that through him. I've got a similar
unit bought at Pull-a-Part for about $15 that seems to be OK from just
turning it manually. When getting one from a junk yard, you may not be able
to find, or interpret, the SD-709, etc., model numbers so I'd just get one
from the biggest car/van/RV I could find, assuming that the designer for the
vehicle chose one large enough for that vehicle.
Even through full line established companies, don't always charge outrageous
prices for them. For example, here's a new 14 ci clone for $120 BIN:
