Default what do i need to install a/c in my 90 std hatch

My car clearly didn't come with a/c. So I'm not sure what I'm going Toners to swap it into my car. I'm sure the electrical is there but non of the lines or anything are. If anyone has any insight into this please help me

Got any worthy junkyards in your area? I miss being around Salem/Portland Oregon. They had some excellent junkyards out there. Orlando FL is not the same. Sucks here for junkyard finds.

Anyways, look around in junkyards for the dash parts like the climate control and wiring harness. As you tear into a junkyard car you'll learn where stuff goes. Makes it easier to work on your own car. It's how I learned lots of stuff about cars.

Get a new a/c compressor and condenser, not used stuff. A used evaporator would be ok, just flush it out with a/c system cleaner.

OK I'm putting this in and cannot figure out where all ofnya/c harness plugs go. There is a 2 prong that connects to the box that distributes my a/c. Following that there is a plug with a delete on it. The n a 6 prong plug with 4 wires on it. 3 on top, and one right below in the middle. Then a single wire white plug that I have no idea where it goes. Then a big white plug that goes into a sensor on the a/c line, then a big green plug for the fan. Oh and the small red wire plug that goes to the compressor. Anyone have any idea where that single white wire plug goes?

Has the wiring diagram.
looks like the white wire goes to the condenser fan relay.
