Compressor, belt, new pulley for crank case, bracket, condensor, a/c box that goes under the dash, a/c button, wire harness, probably some kinda fan that kicks on when AC's on, piping.... Then you have to find a shop that will charge it for you.

Here is a list off the top of my head:

compressor
mounting bracket
two groove crank pulley
A/C lines (in good shape with fresh o-rings)
desssicant filter (the thing with the site glass in it)
AC computer (yep, there is one!)
A/C condensor box (inside under the dash)
A/C heat exchanger radiator (in front of the engine radiator) with mounting hardware
Wiring harness
A/C switch panel on the interior heater controls
R-12 refrigerant (good luck getting that!)
Compressor oil
someone with a vacuum pump and an A/C gage set

Sounds like fun, don't it???

Occasionally, Sean Devinney offers a complete A/C system at his site http://members.cox.net/aftermarket4x4/, so check it out  if you are still serious about this project.

Just order the kit online. They're about $1000.

don't let these guy scare you .. it's not that bad. if you have patience and mechanical abilitys  tou can acomplish this project...if i was closer i'd give you a hand. and we could probably put it all in over a week end.  as for the r-12 ,, it can be supplemented with r -134a not a biggie, just have to change the charge connections to a shrader style....

The installation is very easy and there is not many vehicles that make it simpler. Here is a pic of what a typical Track/Kick A/C system looks like:

I was looking for some other info today and noticed that http://www.suzukiinfo.com has an a/c installation guide. Its for a 92 sammy but I expect its pretty similar in complexity.

It's really easy to do, but takes time - there's lots of bits. If you're a "noob" it should take you a 1/2 day to pull the kit out |removethispart|@ a junkyard - and a weekend to install. Do yourself a favor and have a "professional" shop do the first charging.

They have complete used kits on ebay for $400 / $500, or brand new kits for $1000 online. I suggest pulling the kit yourself and labeling EVERYTHING, and taking lots of pics OR getting a new kit. If you buy a used kit - you won't know how to put it in.
