no, you will be missing the evaporator core and related ac lines that go into the cabin.

its not just the compressor that gives you ac, its a small part of a bigger system.

You can install a/c if you wish. Having the engine out will definately make it easier. All the wiring is already there for you and parts are readily available at your local wrecker.... and my garage.
