What do you plan to use for the evaporator and condenser? The A/C ones are going to be fiddly with 12VDC fans and needing to be enclosed for correct airflow, plus they will be aluminium connections with hose connections so either a hose doctor (with AC connection fittings as they're not standard hydraulic) or some other connection arrangement.
Actually, to narrow it down to an simple answer. You're pushing shit uphiil
Message me what you have and I can give you an idea as to what a small fridge system will cost. I'm assuming you have a chiller box.

I have the complete system from a digger, so compressor, condenser, receiver dryer, and the heater box with the evaporator in it aswell as the fan etc, I have all hoses for the system,
The 24v supply needed to make these work is no issue.

I just don't know if the system is capable of cooling a chiller box say 2mx2mx2m
