That  is where I installed mine. I had to trim the cooler housing quite
a bit and cut out the inner part of the luggage rack to squeeze it in.
There is a standard RV vent assembly in the ceiling between the front
seats. It is only useful when you are parked. Been over 10 years now.
Works ok  in Baja much of the time but uses quite a bit of water in dry
heat. We use it without water now mostly and always without when the
humidity rolls in. Just the fan has been a life saver many times. It was
less than half the price back then, but what wasn't. I wouldn't do it
again, since we have found a better way to do the job.
