AC in a Non-AC Burb?

I was just wondering if It's possible to put AC into a 90 Burb that was not equipped with AC from the factory. If I found a donor truck or Burb would it be possible to move all the parts over? Has anyone ever done this with success? Were there any major changes in the AC design over the run of this series? 73-87 or 91 for the Burbs) Should I look for special year ranges when locating parts?

Yeah...like Hooter says, you will need to do some filling and cutting on the firewall. I'm in the middle of a project like this. I ended up buying a different cab that had the AC in it. But I did not replace the cab for that reason. The old cab was just too rusty to fix. But if you have a donor truck, the project should be fairly simple.
