BTW, long story short, I'm not aware of anyone who's done it (yet) and opinion is split between it being complex and extremely complex. It's not going to even approach a simple bolt-on job

To get all of the wiring/plugs/sensors/ECU/distribution servo's & all the mechanical bits you would ideally need a complete JDM car of the same revision as yours to take the parts from. It will require the dashboard & frunk stripping completely, all under trays removed & possibly more (fuel tank? Can't recall from memory) to run the AC lines, front bumper removed which if you've never done it will be a trial in rusted forever-spinning bolts.
Mammoth task.
If you can't be bothered with all that, & just want 'aircon' - it's probably easier to just grab the OEM compressor, condenser & some or all of the AC lines & the evaporator box (assuming it mates to the UK blower fan & the rest of the system ok), install that, have the missing AC lines made up with custom AC hose, & rig it up to come on with a simple button, like how the aftermarket systems work. The only controls/sensors needed would be the AC pressure & evaporator temperature I think.
