FWIW, dryer cans in both brazed-steel and aluminum are readily available in various heights & diameters. I'm currently using an aluminum one for some sort of semi-tractor that's 1-1/2" shorter than stock but 1" larger in OD from NAPA. It fits up front in one of the sculpted depressions in the front trunk near where the stock battery once fit. I use a dropped battery and a front-mounted AC condenser

The only tricky thing I ran into is, the threaded ports in this can are cut for 45 degree flair fittings. I took a 37 degree double-male aluminum AN fitting of the proper thread and changed one side to 45 degrees with a file in a drill press chuck. I scratched '45' on that side for the benefit of the next poor mechanic that works on the car's AC. All the rest of my lines & fittings are 37 degree AN.
