There's room in the engine bay for an AC compressor with a T4, if you 
use a small modern unit.  Shad Laws had AC in his awe-inspiring '71 
Fastback with a 2563cc T4 engine.  No compromised cooling either -- the 
compressor pulley goes in place of the spacer between the fan and fan 
hub.  Changing the belt is a PITA though .. such a tradeoff. :-)

Do you have any other ECUs laying around you could plug in to test 
with?  I mean yeah. a '73 T3/AT ECU (for example) wouldn't be *right*, 
but would help troubleshoot whether the fuel pump circuit in your ECU 
is or isn't the problem.
