I realize that you seem to think that it's a good idea to add a/c to a car that didn't have it originally, but....
FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, JUST BUY A 97' THAT HAD A/C FROM THE FACTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Honestly, they did make ITRs in 97' with a/c, and it's one thing if you could get a phenomical deal on one without A/C, but they're not that much better priced, where once you flip up almost 2G's that you're getting a steal. Plus you need to go through the hassle of doing it...
IMO, just buy one with A/C
Later,
