    you can't buy a complete aftermarket system for them.
    just go to the wrecker and grab yourself all the bits.

    I'm in the process of getting the A/C working in my VH as it never had A/C.
    I swapped the evaporator, switch etc out of my old VH. I've got the EFI 5L, so using a VN compressor. Last weekend I picked up the aluminium pipes from under the bonnet from the wrecker. Bought a new aftermarket universal fit condensor (which is basically the same as the factory unit but has a finer core). Got to source a tx valve/block that suits the newer R134a gas and get some custom hoses made up to fit the VN compressor.

    If you are picking up an evaporator box from the wrecker, make sure the clowns don't twist the connection pipes when they are removing it. Often they won't use two spanners and the pipes twist leaving you with a useless leaking evaporator. And the evaporators aren't repairable as the case is plastic welded together.
