Go with an aftermarket system. They will work a lot better.
My truck a/c was complete with just a bad compressor.
After the rebuild with new a/c compressor,dryer,expansion valve duct hoses, diverter box and converted to r134A it cools like a 1971 unit.
It really is not that cool.
The big thing was getting the system flushed,converted and charged.
This was required for a warranty on the compressor
After installing all the parts at apoximately $400. It was another
$400 for the flush charge convert and refill.
Makes the price of a new unit seem resonable.
If I were to do it again I would have an aftermarket installed by a professional a/c technician and be done with it.
I did not have to buy any hoses or other major parts.
A good aftermarket a/c unit is one item that will increase the value of your truck.

Have fun
