AC core will cost between 3-4K to replace so along with those other problems it's not worth it.

Anything I can afford
That millage is ready to do the timing chain and rails. Oil pressure might be low because of poor oil circulation. Oil sludge on cylinder heads. Might need new oil pump too. If you can do all the work buy it. If you have to send to the shop to do engine or a/c work don't buy. look for something with less miles less years.
