Surely there were more than a few 5sfe powered camrys with aircon? Perhaps it's just a matter of searching through some wreckers until you can find the aircon system out of one.

My parents had a '94 widebody V6 Vienta/holden apollo - a great motor but blew the headgasket(s) at 140,000kms. $3500 later it was as good as new (new VRS kit, new cam bearings, heads straightened) and had over 350,000kms on it when sold Shocked. Still performed well with only the slightest puff of smoke on startup but was starting to get a bit rattly.

IMHO it's prob not worth doing either a V6 or a 3SGTE conversion. If you want a V6, it'll be cheaper in the long run to sell your car and buy a V6 - and the same goes for a 3SGTE - ST165 GT-4 Celicas can be had for less than $6K these days.
