Default How hard to install A/C?

I have an 84 mustang I'm gonning to be doinng alot of work to it next week, and I was wondering how hard would it be to add an A/C. If I go to the auto recycler to pic up a used unit? what would be involved? what would I need? is it even worth it? Thanks.

Yeah you'll have to get your hands on a LOT of parts, like brackets, a compressor, condenser, coolant lines, dash controls, new pulleys, belt, etc. etc.

It's costly. Just use the built in 2/70 A/C for now, and if you want A/C sell your car and buy another with A/C.

Yea, def not worth it. I know they make retro fit AC for older cars but I don't think our quite fit into that catagory yet.
