I'm in Spain so it would have to be able to deal with high humidity.

Most of the time I'm in Spain it is hot but super dry. Nothing like Florida for example. Where are you?
Careful not to compare apples with oranges.
The traditional upgrades do require that your original AC parts are in good order. You will have to recondition/rebuild the factory blower/evaporator, check that the ductwork, controls and wiring still work etc. Fans may be seized so factor that in.
Our kit is complete with all new parts, it doesn't use any of the original Porsche AC parts.
Many of the mechanical compressor based upgrade kits also load the alternator (since they run more condenser fans) and it is doubtful your 55A alternator would be up to the job.
