If the car still has all the shit under the dash (pray to god you do, lol) ull need a/c compressor, compressor bracket, lines, harness, evaporator, condensor, condensor fan, drier, etc.

Pretty much, you are going to need alot of shit

If you have everything under the dash then you will need:

-Compressor (match to year of your car, 92-93 is an r12 compressor, 93-95 is r134a)
-Drier (buy new)
-Condenser (if use flush it good before install)
-Lines (if used flush before install)
-Slim fan to clear your turbo stuff, the ones we run at the shop are like $60-75 or so.
-You will need to make sure the fan realy is working and that no wires have been cut for the A/C plugs)
-New A/C compatible DP
-I'd also suggest changing out the expansion valve (located on evaporator).

id suggest, pulling the evap and havin it pressure tested w/ nitrogen and flusing it out, not sure on a price of a drier but if they are very expensive they can be rebuilt. i would also have your condensor pressure tested/ flushed as well. and as far as comp i would go with a r134a compressor its much cheaper to charge than r12. and i belive if you use a d series compressor you will have to get a bracket to adpapt to teh b series block or if you got a b series bracket w/ b series compressor you will need to have your lines dup'd w/ the b series compressor fittings
