You can buy complete used systems cheap... like $500, plus you can install youself and have a local shop charge it. Brand new a/c kit is like $700 USD I think plus install and all that bunk...

That's why you gotta meditate bro. Calm your mind and you will feel nice and chill...

Shop around. It's not worth the agravation of installing one onto a car that doesn't have one yet. I had a choice when I was getting my new car.....one had ac, the other did not. It was a no brainer.....I picked the one with the ac.
