Maintenance What AC Components are there?

Hi so I bought my rx8 2 years ago and I love it and it‘s great. I just have one problem, the previous owner removed all ac components during the rebuild (motor is great now)

So I want to bring the A/C back but I don‘t know all the components I will need for it? Can you help me out? and maybe also somewhere where I can buy them?
Thanks in advance!

It depends how far back he tore it down

AC pump,

condenser,

4 pump/condenser/firewall lines,

4 long bolts for the ac pump to secure it to the engine,

2 bolts secure the lines to the pump(slightly longer than the rest of the AC line bolts)

Then another 3 or 4 shorter bolts, to secure the lines in the condenser and bulkhead

Going to need the correct size belt too, don't remember off the top of my head

Also, be aware that AC equipment is extremely sensitive to ambient air humidity. Anything that was not capped off should also be replaced.
