AC Install - 78 K15 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi All,
I recently purchased a 78 K-15. About two years ago it had its gas engine replaced from a 400 to a 350. When the replacement engine was installed the AC was never hooked back up.

From what I can tell the compressor and accumulator appear to have been removed. Also looks like one of the compressor brackets is missing.

I am looking for some advice on getting the AC working, would love to be able to drive my truck during the summer here in Arizona.

Should replacement parts and recharge of the system be all I need? Any recommended parts? Currently looking at LMC and pick and pulls.

Also does any one have a diagram for the hoses? I found the necessary diagrams for the electrical cabling.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.
