 Installing 90A unit into a car which doesn't have AC its a piece of
cake.  Only thing that you may need to do is swap pulleys.  You will
however need to go from the plug type of connection to the ring type. 
All of the 90a units I have seen use a post to connect the B and D+
terminals instead of the spades.  This is also a good time to upgrade
the alt wire (B) and the ground wires on the car.  HTH...
