Default aircon for non aircon classic?

is it possible to put in aircon to a classic 97 impreza turbo 2000 uk that doesnt have aircon fitted from factory say if i was to buy the parts needed and if it is possible like correct wiring or plugs being present is it hard to install?

Anythings possible but a pain in the ****! Gotta ask yourself is it worth it, plus the added weight to the car!

Air con was an after Market fit on uk cars so you just need the parts, and as for the weight thing, when the guy next to you in his none aircon uk turbo is sweating his *** off and your chilled, you won't give a damn about 12 or so kg (and you won't lose power either when it's off, tbh I never noticed any difference in my uk turbo).

ok i dont mind about the extra weight, i also have a big heavy subwoofer in the boot. so sounds like its possible to install it as long as i have all the right parts but not sure what i need and how hard it is to do, it would definitely be good not to sit hot and sweating in the sun with hot air blowing in my face... so all the existing wiring or plugs are already there for a uk turbo so just need the parts and them putting in...?
