66 Barracuda Questions

Hi all! I inherited a 1966 Barracuda from my family and it's pretty bare bones. It currently doesn't have quite a few items that I would like to have to make it more driveable. Here's what I'd like to know:
  1. Is it possible to change from a manual steering to power steering?
  2. How difficult would it be to install a power braking system?
  3. It currently only has heat. How much of a task would it be to add A/C?
  4. Where does one go to find these items for installation?
Here's the specifics on the car:
B - Barracuda
P - Premium
29 - 2 door sports hardtop
B - 225 1-1BBL 6 Cylinder "RG" engine

Thanks in advance!

Welcome.... Nice ride.... Those are large investment up grades...

Just my 2 cents...

If these guys can't help with the ac there are other aftermarket AC companies.

Yòu can get power brake boosters for your car and disk brake kits. Google is your friend.
I know there are some power steering boxes for mopars that are a direct replacement for manuel boxes that just need a pump and hoses, now is there one for your car?
Good luck
