Does anyone know what parts are needed to convert to climate control from standard???

Is it just the control unit that sits in the centre console and everything from the standard unit plugs into this, or is more needed like computer etc???

Any help appreciated.

I'd say you'd need computers, plus motor to control the vents, plus the unit and wiring harnesses, then probably need to get it programmed.. I'd say biiiig job...

Plus temperature and light (solar) sensors. There's a temp sensor in the front bumper for outside
temp, a temp sensor in the centre console for inside temp and a solar sensor on the dash.

It is Quite a big job to convert from manual aircon to climate control... Belive me I do this for a living......................

You will need to change the under dash unit as the climate control has a vacuum controlled blend door, external temp sensor at front bumper, internal temp sensor in dash, solar sensor on the dash near windscreen, climate control computer and dash unit, and a wiring diagram to tap in to engine ECU so they can talk to each other....It is possible but a big job it is like converting a auto to a manual...Just buy a car with climate control....Any way Climate control is for old people who dont know how to work aircon....I leave my Aircon on all the time and adjust the temp via the blend door manually....
