Building A/C system, need some help

Ok guys, Im trying to get the A/C system all figured out in the truck that I'm building, and I need some help. I have a complete A/C system out of a 77 F150, and out of an 89 F350. Im using the components of the 89. but have had issues trying to make it all fit on the truck. I ran across this in another thread, Underdash AC and it seems to be what I need to make this work.

From what it says in the description, it looks like I could use that along with the 89's condenser, compressor and drier to make this work. I just want to check on here, because A/C is not something that I have dealt with before, so any help or advice would be great. Thanks in advance

The Compressor, Condenser will be a great choice with an underdash unit.
You'll need a new drier, the universal style works great with that underdash as well as having your hoses made up locally.
