Doesn't seem to be a whole lot out there.
All I could find in the past five years (searching for <autonomic AND
operant AND conditioning>) were this article and a few applied studies.

TI:     Conditioning the whole organism
AU:     Schoenfeld, W N
SO:     Integrative Physiological & Behavioral Science. Vol 31(3), Jul-Sep
1996, pp. 258-260
AB:     Argues that Pavlovian and operant conditioning are 2 aspects of the
same integrated learning process, by which the brain receives and processes
information to regulate the whole repertoire of individual behaviors. W. N.
Schoenfeld discusses whether autonomic responses can be conditioned in
operant fashion. The author concludes by calling for integrative rather
than reductionist thinking in biology and medicine. (PsycINFO Database

We dn't have the journal, so I don't know what he concludes.
