Most underdash units are self contained with everything needed. Just run the hoses through the firewall to the engine components.

I've only seen a few---10 or so--hang on units, and had one on my old 70 RR. The dash unit should be pretty much self contained, only needing hoses to the compressor, receiver--dryer and condenser. It's possible on any unit that the TXV might be a proprietary unit and difficult to find a replacement for. Keep in mine that with older units you need to be able to upgrade to modern refrigerants.

(Back "in the day" after a major overhaul, I used engine vacuum!!!! to evacuate the hang on unit and then recharging)

I just removed this from my 57 Plymouth. Pretty basic setup, AC compressor, engine brackets, condensor, evaporator, rubber lines, and under dash blower/cooler unit. Every single item is shown here. Modern versions are basically the same short of cosmetic differences.
