Adding a/c to 97 F150, Help!
I just bought a 97 F150 with no a/c. I just found someone who is selling a complete system. Besides the cab controls to operate it, can someone tell me what else I would need? Such as, will the venting be the same? 
Here is the add that I read. I have the same engine.
2002 FORD F-150 AIR CONDITIONING - $200
complete a/c setup from a 2002 ford f-150 (4.2 liter v6) for sale. only 45,000 miles on the vehicle. no leaks anywhere! i removed it because i would rather have performance than comfort! mounts, compressor, condensor, accumulator, and all associated lines included! this setup will work on 97-03 models, maybe more. $200.00 obo. please check if putting on something besides the aforementioned vehicle(s) (SORRY FOR THE EARLIER TYPOS...)
Please respond, my dog can't handle the heat like I can.
Sincerely, jim

Though $200 SOUNDS like a bargain, its not if its all crap.
You'll need a new accumulator for sure. You need Every bolt, washer, mounting clip. etc
You'll need the correct Idler pulley set-up and belt.
Perhaps a NEW system may be cheaper after all
