I have searched, but on h-t the focus seems to be to remove not install a/c, so there seems to be little info on the subject of installation.

I think that's all you need, but you could be missing something small, though. Maybe you can find a parts car that you can steal everything from?

Sounds like you have every thing listed out.

By the way, I just took all that stuff out of my 1990 STD hatch, it's all for sale if you want it, still in great shape!

I had the old stuff in my system before I took it out. The AC was cold as hell... way colder than the AC in my new Scion. That old freon really kicked ***.

yeah, if only r12 weren't so expensive. If the system i get leaks, and I install it not knowing, I would waste all that precious r12.

Yes, and the evaporator container. BTW, I have a spare A/C Fan and engine harness if you need them . DOn't forget to use new o-rings on all the fittings and to use a new drier if the one you have has been open for more than 48 hours.
