Some assumptions have to be made first:

Did you have AC installed in this ED6 before?

If not, then you need to:

install the AC pump and associated lines/tubes from the firewall - there are two;
install the correct AC belt and tension the pump;
install all parts associated with AC on the radiator;
make sure you have wiring connected to run the fan and monitor the pump;

To install in the cabin you will need to remove the dash, and the two units behind the dash. You will also need to remove the carpet and the thick sound proofing behind it to connect the two tubes/lines to the AC unit, then connect up the dash controls and AC button.

Remember that there is a nut on the firewall in the engine bay (centre of firewall behind engine) that needs to be removed to uninstall the unit inside the cabin. And these are all linked, so you have to start on the left side, remove the unit, then the next unit etc. If you look in my build thread you will see what I'm saying.

You might have gathered that it is not a quickie job. It will take some time, especially putting everything back in. The again, if you had AC before you only need to regas, which is about $90.
