Last time I had the AC done on my '77 from top to bottom it was around $1100. I had to have a new compressor and Evaporator (I think thats right, it's the radiator type thing behind the grille). I get the evaporator and condensor mixed up.

On my 83 I only had to replace the compressor clutch and charge it with r134a and that only cost me a little over 100 bucks , but i also did it myself.

Go to autozone and rent a puller for it. It was a B***H to get it off though. You might have to buy a new serpentine clutch if you mess up the old one pulling it off.
