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!

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
