I did adapt an AC unit to a 1275 but in an Austin A40.
It worked real well but the old system I was using did rob the power.
It was out of a 73 Austin Marina 1800 (MGB engine) I cut the bracket to 
fit the A series engine, rtan the drip tube out where the RHD steering 
column plug was, and stuck the condenser in front of the rad. Which you 
can do in a Midget. Hang the blower where the glove box is and you can 
have an air conditioned Midget. I ran the compressor off the later dual 
belt fan pulley where the air pump used to be. It worked fine for 2 
summers before I took the system off.
