RE the AC: PM 1972FJ55 and/or TX Cruiser. Both of them sell AC equipment and discuss some of what it takes to convert to R134 in this thread (if that's applicable in WY). They make it sound pretty easy.

Are your pictures too large? use pixresizer (google it) from the web to resize.

What parts do you need?

I have a bunch of rust free junk

Sketch out a plan for what you want to do. Then get an idea on prices and look for ways to cut down on the number of times you have to take the same thing apart. Any idea what shape the power train is in? compression, tranny, . . . suspension, and rust that could make the vehicle unsafe. Get that worked out, then make out your list for the safety concerns, creature comforts, appearance and the little things. By the way, don't drive on old tires, particularly if you have a hot GF waiting for you at the airport. (search 60 thread for topic!)
One thing I always go through with some of my project vehicles; when you remove a panel, or access an area that has not seen the light of day for quite some time, I'd have several things on hand. A flashlight to get a good idea on inspection, a can of spray paint that protects the vehicle from rust, wiring insulation and sound proofing. If there is rust, get an idea of how much rust. If it is surface rust, hit it with a wire brush, clean the area, and spray it.
Check wiring for breaks, and check for contact points where it goes into or through a metal brace for failure of the rubber insulators. Clean the surface and apply sound proofing to the surface. The other thing I did was run an auxillary wiring loom down both sides of the rig from front to back to give me new speaker wiring, auxlliary electrical plugs, and several spares that later I wont have to change my wiring if I want to add something. Now, I have power/heated seats so it is safe to say I have some different ideas about the comfort for one of these trucks but that's how I would approach it.
On your list as you start getting into the "nice to have ideas" I would consider the tailgate storage lid from WAGONGEAR, great idea and Kevin is a masterful craftsman. A little pricy but it is quality stuff. Also, he has probably the most functional FJ60 I've ever seen, not that I would try to replicate it, make your rig to match your needs but still, great ideas with his truck as well as a number of the ROTW vehicles here.
