Default how much to add a/c to a non a/c car?

hi guys,

i've been eyeing a lot of swaps and some stock hatches that don't have a/c. It gets hot enough in so cal that I'd want that option.

Any ideas on the cost to retrofit one? thanks

The hardest part is wiring and setting up all of the components under the dash. The engine bays are the same across all models (ac or non-ac), so everything should bolt right up under the hood and onto the motor (make sure to do the research on what parts you need to make d-series compressors compatible with b-series - p54 bracket). I just put the ac back into my hatch (already pre-wired, just needed the piping and other hardware), and it took about an hour to bolt everything into place.

I'm selling my complete COMPLETE setup here in San Diego. The only things not included are the bracket mounting it to the block (it's part of my engine mount), the belt, the button on the dash, the "freon", and the plastic box behind the glovebox (but it's internals are yours). The bracket and plastic box you probably don't need anyway. I could be persuaded to get them from the junkyard at your expense if you need them.
