I need to have AC. I want it. I don't need it now, but is there a way to get a good compressor, accumulator, evap, etc without paying tons? The only place I have even seen is autohaus and they want tons of money for the parts. I don't need all of them, but while I have the dash out I figured I had better do it now as I never want to have it out again. Ideally I would like to have everything but the lines and compressor done now and add them when I can afford it more.
So my questions are where to get parts and are there any other more common non vw parts that people have done well with, or what is the cheapest way to build my ac system?
