What part of the AC did he take out?
Compressor & mounting brackets, hoses, condenser, drier, evaporator & blower box, etc.
We need to know what was removed so we can help you.
Maybe post up a picture or 2 of what you have or dont have.
Oh what motor does the truck have?

1) Factory installed integral A/C is combined with the heater, so if specific parts were removed, the heater probably doesn't work.
2) Dealer installed A/C is not combined with the heater.

2 different types of A/C:

2) Dealer installed A/C is not combined with the heater.

(sigh) on what type of A/C it has, people responding assume it's factory A/C'Course most people haven't a clue what type of A/C it is, so...many assume it's factory A/C
1968/72 F100/350: THREE different types of A/C, all are "hang-on" units as the bezels bolt to the bottom of the dash.
1973/79 F100/350 & 1978/79 Bronco: THREE different types of A/C, all are in-dash units.
OP posted an engine compartment pic, it has the large evaporator housing, so it's factory A/C
Also says the heater doesn't work, which is obviously not surprising...

It also looks like it has a "blue" orifice valve. From what I have seen posted should be changed to red to be used with 134a charge.
Do you still have the condenser out in front of the motor radiator?
If so and it looks in good shape, no holes or bent fins then it looks like you just need the compressor, hoses and red orifice valve from what I can see.
I would also replace the drier when fixing the system.
