I don't know about cab swapping, but I do know that installing aftermarket is a pretty good deal. You get the new refrigerant. All new parts and technology, including the wiring with relays. It is a more compact solution if you don't mind not having much of a glove box.

There is cutting involved (assuming you want your vents to come out through the dash). And you won't be able to pull in fresh air through the system either. But I don't know if you can do that with a factory a/c. And you don't have to find a condensor since all aftermarket setups come with one.
