find a car that has a similar engine instalation and get the pump sorting out first

once you've got that the rads a the rest of the plumbing will be easy enough

your only issue then will be getting the evaporator in the cirrect position to get the conditioned air into the cabin

use the granada/sierra air con main box as a starting pint as they have differently shaped bulkheads to accomodate this
