So, anybody have any thoughts on installing a/c in a non-factory equipped vehicle? I got a 1997 ranger 2.3L 5spd for almost nothing and would like to do it. What would be on the parts list, and how difficult would it be?
1-condensor
2-compressor/clutch
3-temp controller in dash
4-serpentine belt

what fuses or other electrical stuff would i need? Is there a write up any where on something like this?
Thanks
 






to that you can add evaporator and associated ductwork and housing (not sure if the non-AC models had it and just didn't use it,) accumulator, piping to/from compressor/evap/accumulator with expansion valve. Candidly, while you COULD do it, it is going to be a TOUGH job methinks.
