If you intend to use and AirLoopHVAC:UnitarySystem, you should be fine.

Just stop using your HVACtemplate objects, use the expidf file to see the underlying objects.

You should be able to put several AirLoopHVAC:UnitarySystem in a ZoneHVAC:EquipmentList.

In the Input/Output Reference guide, v8.4:

1.31.2 AirLoopHVAC:UnitarySystem

The AirloopHVAC:UnitarySystem object is intended to replace all other air loop equipment, although other system types are still available. This system is unique in that it can accommodate all fan and coil types whereas other system types are specific to the type of fan and coil available for simulation. Additionally, although the AirloopHVAC:UnitarySystem is intended for use in the primary airloop, this object can be modeled as zone equipment (i.e., listed in a ZoneHVAC:EquipmentList) or as an outside air system component (i.e., listed in a AirLoopHVAC:OutdoorAirSystem:EquipmentList).
