I've never tried to setup AC before, so I'm not sure what all I'd need to make it work on a truck that never had it. I don't want to start buying original ACs parts when they may not be necessary.

If your truck didn't originally have AC, then the easiest approach will be to get a kit from a manufacturer like Vintage Air or Old Air Products and purchase the kit with the LS bracket. I'm happy with my VA kit, and I did have to buy some parts for my upcoming LS swap, most of it will stay in place.
