Need all the A/C I can get. But, if that's what you want to do, here is a solution for you...

We built one. But never really did anything with it.
Take you vent out. Get some plastic you can form and match the pattern.
Cut hole for gauge. Cut slots for vents.
Attach pattern to vent casing.
You will need to make a hole in the duct work to get wires through.
No idea if the gauge will fog up. But worth a try.
