Installing A/C in 1986 305 camaro

Anyone know how difficult it is and how much it would cost to install A/C in an '86 camaro that never had A/C?

What would I need other than the condenser, compressor, and refrigerant?

If anyone knows of somewhere in CT that provides this service, I'd appreciate the name and location of the business as well.

Car info: 1986 Camaro base coupe w/ 305 4bbl, all stock equipment

Thanks.

-Matt

Go to a local salvage yard find one that has AC and strip all components including the heater core cover. Odds are the compressor will be shot but ya never know. Don't forget to nab the controls from the console! I have never done it but I imagine it could be done over a long weekend? But hey I'm never affraid to jump in and try.

P.s. why doesn't my sig show? hmmmmm

If you're interested, I have the A/C compressor of my '86 and I may take the condenser out soon. I might even be able to get you the bracket for the compressor. If you're interested email me at bad86z28@hotmail.com
