Did the truck come with AC from the factory or was it a none AC truck? I would say 90% or more of the people who replace their engine never hook the AC back up for whatever reason.

If the truck had AC, sure you can put a compressor on it (condenser is probably still there) and put the lines back in place and could get it to work for a few $100 and a trip to a mechanic shop that does AC work.

If the truck never has had AC, you'll have to go a different route like vintage AC or something.
