Default Power steering and A/C

So im looking to add power steering and A/C to my 95 hatch. Anyone know about how much it would cost or how hard it would be to do it myself? Im for sure getting a/c because of 100 degree summers here. Power steering is still just a thought.

The A/C system just bolts on. You can actually still buy the complete kit from dealers, or strip it off a junked car. If you don't have a vacuum pump you should have a shop evacuate and charge it with refrigerant.

Pretty much the same with the power steering upgrade. Since you're changing the steering rack, the wheels will need to be re-aligned.

I feel confident about the a/c...I work for an HVAC company. But I dont know a lot about the auto side of it. Power Steering seems like it would be a little easier, but im still undecided if I want it.
