Mutt,
On cars with AC the defrost setting runs the compressor to dehumidify the air while adding heat, clearing fog about ten times faster than heat alone. Seems to me you're making a lot more work for yourself, but I expect converting your stock heater to 12V is nothing more than changing out the fan motor, or installing an in-line resistor to drop the voltage to the fan to 6V (I'd replace the motor and run it at 12V).
On the compressor lines, you just have new long lines made up with the necessary fittings on each end to mate to your compressor and evaporator. You're also going to be extending your heater supply and return hoses the length of the cabin, too.
