Hopefully the rest of the AC parts are present on that black car-- even if you don't plan on reusing them. I can see part of the expansion valve and part of the modulator valve in that photo which means the coil and box is probably there. Expansions are not too bad because aftermarkets can be made to work but If modulator is in good condition so much the better. Those in working condition -- like new valves for Lehigh compressors -- are hard to come by.

Speaking of compressor valves, that might be something worth looking into for your store and I'd even provide a damaged pair to examine. I don't know if something thin and flat like the valves could be made with the plasma or laser cutting process or how much demand there would be but if they were available I'd be a customer.
