I guess this is a little more work than I thought. Might hold off for a while. I've had lots of success with junkyard parts in the past, the one I use has a constantly rotating inventory so most trucks aren't on the lot for more than a week, I see lots of almost-new parts on them frequently. Plus its dirt cheap so I'd be willing to risk paying around $50 for all the parts initially from the junkyard and then troubleshooting if any problems arise.

Yes a little more work 20 hrs if all parts are good and 30 or hrs more if you have to replace a bad AC heater box or evaporator or a lot of other stuff.
Also illegal to work on R-12 system unless you are R-12 certified
But on a 20 year old truck getting good AC parts is going to be very hard to do.
A lot of them along them years did not make it 5 years let alone 20 years.
I would check some AC parts places for a AC add on kit.
You do not see them much any more but they still should be around.
Try Arizona Air AC kits .com
With the compressor bracket being on it does the truck have a ac /heater unit under dash or just heater?
Good Luck and let us know how it goes.
