I leave you to make your own conclusions
the reason why you can find mini s/c units so cheap is owners are dumping them for either rotrex units or fiting a different eaton type unit
You say a diffrent eaton do you no which would suit the 8v best some of the m62 range look smaller. Also planning on a few ducts in the bonnet to try and keep it cool under there and running a frount mounet cooler for the inlet side
