there's a few EPAS install threads on here that would be worth perusing.

is it possible, yes. has it been done, yes. is it worth it? that's for you to decide.

you could also go with a stock power set up, it wouldn't be too terrible to source all the bits. or upgrade to a borgsen setup. so you have options.

the AC certainly adds a wrinkle of complication to the ordeal, but it's not insurmountable.

i'm not sure why you'd need to change the radiator, but the waterpump may be a function of what's available pulley wise.

personally, if i was in your shoes i don't know which direction i'd take but i like to stay toward the stock side of things because i know that those components are out there and they work together.

it's all doable but it becomes a function of how much you want to spend, what your level of expertise is and how far you want to go because generally one upgrade begets another...
