Cant help you with a compressor, but there is a US company doing what appear to be well made complete kits for the VW, Ghia, Bus and early porsche's. His main market seams to be VW.
Pricey kits, but they are totally complete. $1295 US. http://www.iceac.com/vw_prod.html
Hope this helps if only for another VW thing to look at :bounce

sound okay to me. wat is this ice company

They are just an automotive aircon company. Had another look last night after I posted the link. I wouldnt put it on a show car, as the compressor sits right next to the generator, which I think is quite ugly. But aside from that I see nothing wrong with it, and they will make the kit to suit the car as far as I can tell.
Go to www.thesamba.com and do a search through their forum, should be able to find out about what they are all doing to their cars.
Just a thought.

Trouble is that they only make them for left hand drives last I checked.
This is OK if you already have the bits that go inside the car but if you don't, all the stuff is set up for the wrong side.
