you can see the compressor in these photos. it is much smaller than the factory units. condensor goes in front of the radiator, blends in with the radiator so it's not an eye sore. the rubber hoses look just like heater hoses really, and i think the engine bay still looks pretty clean. I blocked off the old fan housing, and used the existing heater hose holes for the heater bulkhead. I also got the 2 piece bulkhead from hot rod air, their basic kit comes with just the hoses, you'd have them just going through a hole you cut in the firewall. on the interior, i have the three knobs to the right of the stereo, and the vents under the dash. i have the defrost vents hooked up as well. the evaporator has 4 vent outputs, and 2 defrost outputs, and some holes towards the bottom of the unit for when you have the heat on. i'm still waiting on the elite control panel from them, but they'll pretty much throw in the knob label for free with your order if you ask, and you could put that label around your knobs in your dash for no extra money. they were way behind on my order when I made it in july, and i'm still waiting on the elite control panel and some newer model vents that they've come out with. if you want to have ac this summer, a smart man would be ordering from them in the next month. here's my rough breakdown of cost:
street rod kit - $950
bulkheads - around $75 (not required, but makes life easier and a cleaner install)
evaporator hanging kit - $45 (not required, but makes mounting the evaporator much easier)
elite control panel - around $200, you could just stick the label on your dash for basically free and it would look completely fine
fee to crimp ac lines - $45
vacuum and charge ac - $35
vacuum and charge ac again because i put the wrong o-ring on a fitting and had a leak - $35
driving in 105 degree heat with your windows up - priceless
