Air conditioning repair and dashboard removal for the Japan-only "Mitsuoka Orochi"

Here's footage of working on the ultra-rare Mitsuoka Orochi. Since footage of this vehicle in action is extremely rare, this is a long, drawn-out video, but I hope it proves useful in some way.
▼Work Performed This Time
・Condenser replacement
・Compressor replacement
・Evaporator replacement
・Dash panel removal/reinstallation
・O-rings, gaskets, etc.
This vehicle was deemed unreparable because genuine parts are no longer available.
Many parts from export-spec Lexus RX330s are used in this vehicle.
The change from FF to MR layout means the engine's front-to-rear orientation is different,
which I believe contributes to the poor workability.
In the video, I mention the engine bay seems spacious,
but in reality, while it has width, the area around the engine is extremely tight.

Since it differs significantly from standard vehicles, I'll also explain specific precautions and key points unique to the Orochi.

▼Tools & Parts Used
・AC Condenser
・AC Compressor
・O-rings
・Refrigerant, Oil, etc.
