you need the whole ac system, the bracket is maybe 1/10th or less the cost of the system. Best bet is to find a donor car with known working ac and use all the parts from it. Buying the parts new will cost alot.

plumbing, compressor, dryer, condensor, ect.

If AC was an option for the car then there is probably an "oem kit" for it, all the same parts but at 1/3 or less the price, there are also aftermarket kits for about the same price.

You will need...

A/C compressor.
A/C compressor belt.
A/C compressor clutch relay.
A/C condenser.
A/C condenser fan.
A/C condenser fan relay.
A/C evaporator.
A/C switch.
A/C orifice tube/expansion valve, one or the other.
A/C pressure switch.
A/C temperature switch.
A/C diode pack.
A filter/dryer/accumulator.
High and low side lines, and an "O" ring kit and the correct amount of Ester oil or compatible refrigerant oil.

With either the OEM or aftermarket kit you will get all the above, the OEM kit will be pretty much plug and play, [the aftermarket kit may need some wiring] other then the evacuation and R134a refrigerant charge. 94

PS, although tempting, I do not recommend used AC parts unless certified not to be contaminated with hydrocarbons, and with warranty of some kind, please take my word for it...

^^^^what he said with the ephasize on the used parts.....I know it sounds stupid , but people have been known to charge AC systems with flammable substances like butane and propane (thats the hydrocarbons).....It works great, until something catches fire.

More common are the DIY A/C fix you can get at auto parts stores Redtech, Duratech and others, they contain the hydrocarbon. 94

Where are you from, I have most of the parts you need. Parts from rota92's yellow Si and one from a buddy's CX that had AC, that he crashed. He hit a chain link fence on the drivers side

Are you sure your up for this job ?
