you need two relays (the same as the ones you already have in the fusebox), a 15A fuse, a 30A fuse, lots of wire, a temperature switch (aircon 5 or 7 series), a fan (aircon fan is easiest). oh, you'll also need the crimp terminals for the fuses and relays. i did mine on a sunday and had to fudge it!
the E30 had the option of aircon and this had an additional two speed fan. it makes most sense to replicate this entire setup as it can be made to look 'factory'. i used a E32 two speed fan switch, slow speed resistor and a citroen BX twin fan setup (though the bmw aircon fan can be used too).
the wiring diagrams can be found here: (haynes manual is useless!)

relays K1 and K7 are the ones to look for.
