vehicle ?
All the necessary components are direct fit. The total cost for all the components would be around 20k for MGP. but you can go for a used components which you should make sure every component are leak proof.
You can get this work done by a local mechanic preferably an AC mechanic. The work involves the fitment of compressor, additional radiator, refrigerant cylinder uder the hood. inside cabin involves cooling unit, blower and an AC switch in the dashboard.
there will no adverse effect on the engine but ofcourse mileage when you use the AC and as well a slight drop in normal running due to an additional belt which keeps running freely on the compressor.

atlast you may need to upgrade the battery if you currently have 32amp battery. should be upgraded to atleast 35amps.
