If your after an air con wiring loom, I have one from a LHD E30, although its still attached to the loom and is only partly removed. I can fully remove it though as some point

An important part of the aircon loom is fitted as standard to most E30s. The wiring from the round heater box plug to the fusebox is usually in place, as well as the fuses and relay sockets in the fusebox.
The aircon heater box plugs into your existing heater plug, and the only wiring that needs to be added is that to the electric fan, thermostat in the radiator, and to the compressor clutch and pressure switch.
