Retrofitting aircondition possible?

Hello!
I wonder how much work is involved if I want to fit airconditioning to my 2.3 base model? Can it be done without ripping out the dash? If all it takes is fitting the parts in the engine bay - which should be a simple bolt-on, or? -and switching the control module, I will consider that over replacing my car. Mine is a manual version with only 80,000 miles and has been very well maintained. It also lacks just about every "goodie" apart from adjustable headlamps and a heated front shield, so there are less things that can fail  But with the summers getting hotter, aircondition is a must!

You would need an evaporator in the heater box,this could be a little tricky to fit,to say the least.Although I am not a defeatist,I reckon you would be better off with another car.There are many gooduns about at very little money.

I agree with Gozz, far too much work involved for the gains.. cost more than buying another car and selling the current one IMHO.....
