Default Rear Air Conditioning Install

I am in need of some help. I am currently trying to install rear AC into my 2004 Disco SE without rear AC. I have gotten all of the parts out of a donor vehicle and have transplanted them successfully into my Disco however I can't seem to plug in the Rear evaporator/blower assembly. There are connections in my Disco for what I believe to be for the Rear evaporator/blower assembly but they don't match the plugs for the Rear evaporator/blower assembly. Can someone please give me some guidance and perhaps some pics of their Rear evaporator/blower assembly. I feel like I might be missing a part. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

Oh and before any one points out how much easier it would be to just buy a new Disco with Rear AC, or how they don't even use their rear AC, My wife is in love with our Disco and has demanded the upgrade.

I believe you'd "need" the main harness that would include them... but I can check for sure tomorrow

It is just as I feared. I am missing those connections all together. Now I just have to figure out how to add them. Thank you for your help, I thought that I was going crazy.

Did this ever get finished? I'm interested in doing this to mine. I'm going to rip out the headliner that has just started to come loose while I'm waiting on my motor swap and do all the things I know I'll want to do later when it's ready to drive.

How do you know if your Disco is equipped with rear AC?

Well, I've no vents in the back roof so I know it doesn't. It'd have the AC button for the middle row seating, which mine does not. I'll have to add a blower unit, probably some wiring and some venting I suspect. Since I'm going to pull the headliner out it seems like the time to do it. Heck, I guess I could just put in the venting at least so when I go to do it later it's in and ready. Maybe that's a good stepping stone.

if it has rear a/c then it also has a huge unit at the left rear where the circulation fan and all of the cooling gear hangs out. trucks without rear air have space for a storage bin instead.

Does it come as a standard option on the 7-seaters?

I have an SE but someone installed the SE7 back seats, so it's one more reason to have it I figure. Without it I can't imagine it gets all that cold in big cabin with just the front A/C alone, the people in the back would probably be pretty darn warm.

Not all SE7s have A/C in the rear...... which seems silly
