AC replacement / repair? 200 1980

I fear that after being inactive that long, it most likely has no freon in it and may well have moisture in it. The cost to get it working could exceed $1000. If you take it to a shop as/is, they will probably quote you $1200-$1300.

There is nothing about it that is as difficult as the heater blower, but after the parts are replaced, you will need a vacuum pump to evacuate the air and moisture from the system before you can fill it with freon, so you will need the help of a refrigeration technician (unless you want to build your own vacuum pump from an old refrigerator pump).
