I'm not sure - but I think you might be able to junkyard all the stuff that you need. Is everything missing or is it just bypassed?

If you install it you are looking at around 300-700. If you have a shop install you are looking around 1000-1500.

Its not that bad to install, you just need time. The dash will need to be removed if they pulled the lines out from the inside of the car too.

Plus you will want two people. It sucks to install with one.

Man it gets into the high 90's here so it made driving mine without AC a living HELL this past summer. Sitting at redlights are the worse because of all the heat the dang engine produces. I put my compressor back in and will hook the rest up this coming spring b/c 1 or 2 horses isn't worth it!

while i agree with the hp gains, i think people mainly remove the a/c for weight. the a/c pump makes no drag on the motor unless the clutch is activated
