I've heard of a few people putting factory A/C into a non AC car.
Its a LOT of work. In general they had the donor car parked alongside
the project car. One of the biggest problems/opportunities is the
firewall hole. There is a big difference between the two. What they did
is cut out the mount area for the Evaporator and welded in the
replacement parts. If you get everything its doable, but there are
many bits & pieces that will be needed and many chances for frustration.
Check eBay to see what the individual pieces go for. Personnally
I wouldn't pay much. The evaporator/condensor could leak, the
compressor is only good for a core, the hoses might be usable and worth
something to someone who wants factory original. Are the vents/
control pieces available aftermarket? Good luck with whatever you do.
