The compressor and all the lines running to/from it, the condenser (in front of radiator), the accumulator (The aluminum can by the blower motor). You could clean it up the right way and get a blower housing off an older cam/fbrd, just don't forget to get the blower fan (squirrel cage) as it's not as wide as the a/c one. You will have to elongate the slot in the non a/c one to fit the blower resistors (Simple grind) otherwise it's a direct bolt in. And you also need the a/c delete pulley if you have a serpentine belt.
