Fitting AC on car that didn't come with it?
I have a 96 s40 without AC fitted.
Is it possible to take all the parts from a car that did come with AC and fit them to my car and end up with working air con? |

Provided you get all the parts needed there's no logical reason why not.

Well, i found a 96 v40 with AC and mecanichally everything would fit. It has been sitting as parts for around 1 year but the owner remembers the AC used to work. Would the seals and Orings still be good or would they be easy to buy new?
Do I need to change something with the ecu or electronics of my car provided it didn't have AC fitted? |

"... It has been sitting as parts for around 1 year but the owner remembers the AC used to work. "
Not the best starting position for an air-con system that you're going to unbolt, remove and then install in your car. As has been said already, " ... I forsee unforseen problems, minister."

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for AC system?
I took out all the AC parts and everything fits mechanically. All i need to do now is wire the compressor. |
