If you can find an old add-on AC (aftermarket like FrigiKing) you would be well equipped to make a reasonable AC. Otherwise I can't imagine installing the evaporator box and all and making it factory air. Unless of course you had a donor car and liked to pull things apart. To do this you remove the dash, that means pulling the front window out. Just that is about $300 including gasket and reinstallation, no A/C parts. I would use a Japanese compressor, not the old York, there's brackets available to use this on the W115 chassis. Finding all that is another story.
Honestly, this may cost you $2500 or more.
