Adding A/C

Hello Fellow Ford people

I have a 1988 350 7.3 IDI w/o A/C. I would like to add A/C to it. Does anyone have a parts list that I can start searching the wreckers for. Damn Global warming!

Thanks to those who can help.

Jeff

Best to find a donor truck and strip it clean of all A/C and heater stuff....

I second that ... I took a system off an 86 for the 92 that I am working on now. As long as it isn't the High Output heater, it is almost as simple as bolting on the different blower housing. On the 92, I will just leave the factory controls, and add a lighted push button to engage the a/c.

Does it matter if the a/c unit from the donor truck has a gas engine or diesel?
