Default 1991 Sonoma A/C

Hey guys a buddy of mine has a 1991 Sonoma pickup with NO A/C. (Not installed) What would need to be done to add A/C? Something kinda simple like bolting on a compressor or what? Thanks

Came factory with no A/C? If so, then there is A LOT of work that needs to be done. Firewall modifications are probable along with needing both the internal and external HVAC housings and all other applicable controls, lines, etc.

The rooftop unit is about all i could find, except for an adapter for a cooler (yes as in beer cooler), that replaces the lid and blows air over your ice. AHAHAHAHA
