Re: HVAC swap
The thing that would be tough is getting the A/C system out of the donor vehicle. It would take a lot of time and I don't think you would want to be doing it in a junkyard, as you might not finish in one day. You would really need to have the donor vehicle in a place you could work on it. If you can find a donor vehicle priced at it's scrap metal value with an intact A/C system, it might be cost effective.
Take a look at aftermarket systems like Vintage Air. They make direct fit systems for our trucks that are mostly a bolt in affair and come with instructions.

Re: HVAC swap
The AC controls in our trucks are mostly cable operated, save for the blower switch. The newer 3 knob style is all electronic and wouldn't be compatible.
