Retro fitting AC in a 200tdi

Ive had a LHD '93 200tdi for 8 years and 70,000kms, probably the most reliable and abused vehicle I've ever owned.

I live in the south of France and I'm finally succumbing to the need for AC. Now I love my old beast but all that abusing has left the interior pretty tired and she needs a bit of of TLC in most areas.

I'm torn between tracking down a used LHD AC set-up (seems very rare on the 200 series) and spending a few euros on the girl to get her looking smart again or simply changing up to a slightly newer 300tdi with less miles and starting again.

So how easy is pulling the dash apart to change to AC and would a Range Rover classic unit fit straight in as they'd obviously be easier to come by?

Cheers, Nick

I live in a valley of 500 about inhabitants - just found on the other side a HUGE open sided barn with about 30 classic range rovers and half a dozen p38s. It was a hive of activity restoring/repairing them and when asked if they had a complete AC system for my Disco (which I suggested was the same or very similar to a classic RR) they showed my a doppelganger of my 200tdi Disco, same colour, with AC.

Job done - so it's decided, I'm going to restore and keep her - esp as I then popped up the village metal worker and got some rectangular sill sections for 40 euros.
