You would need to find a donor car in the junkyard really.

Not sure what the whole list is, but at least the heater box, all the lines, receiver drier, condenser, evaporator... The b&m would probably need to be programmed, and do you have an AC button on the HVAC controls?

Where in Ma are ya?

Fall River. I dont want to get rid of the car. The car is really nice but this needs to happen lol. I can get the wire harness for 20$ and the Compressor for 370 or so. but as far as controls Id need the unit from another car to swap out with mine for the button. The lines are about 50 I think but anything else Im noto sure about
