    By inside components do you mean the under dash heater box? which houses the evaporator/ heater core/ blend doors/ blower motor... If you have that stuff and the car was originally an ac equipped car...You can pare down that list some. Also when it comes to the AC compressor, get one that allready has the clutch/pulley and relief valve assembly on it...This will pare the list down a bit more...

    Go to vintage air or some the other aftermarket companies and get the whole system in kit form a lot less hassle and probably cheaper

    Need to know...Precisely...what you have to help you make a list.
    Gotta tell you though, Old goose is right. Just type in "vintageair .com" should take you to their site...Or you can try "Classic Auto air.com" They sell complete set ups also...

    I've studied what both has to offer classic air looks to have the best package but I am going to have to customize mine because I am going to run a shaker hood so good luck
