If you get the complete kit, it's a simple clean install and they work great. You only need to cut the 2 holes in the firewall for the hoses to fit, and the drain. Take a look at these guys also. Their system is on my wish list before this fall.
Yes, you will have to have a compressor mounted on the engine. You will also have to mount a condensor in front of your radiator and mount a dryer somewhere under the hood. You will need to run two lines from the engine compartment to the underdash unit and a drain hose from the underdash unit to the outside of the truck. The package from vintage air may contain everything to complete the installation, I'm not sure. An "underdash unit" itself contains only the evaporator, fan, thermostat, and controls. Great units though, I've had one in my 33 p/u for nearly 20 years!
