Default Adding AC

I have a 1990 Dodge D250 5.9 gasser and I do not have AC. I would like to add it to the vehicle and have been looking at the under dash units. To make this as easy as possible trying to find a AC compressor mounting bracket and hardware. Anyone no where I can find one or have one laying around?
Thanks

Junk yard. May be more effective to find a truck that did come with a/c, and take all the parts you need from it.

why would you need brackets? i believe all 88-91 just have a idler pulley in place of the a/c compressor. no cheap or easy way to install a/c on a non a/c truck. you have to get a a/c heater box and all the parts to make it work which are getting harder to find. might almost be better off to look at a aftermarket a/c system like you sometimes see in classic cars.
