You can retrofit an AC on a miata.  Mazda has an AC kit which is different for 

pre- and post- 94 models.  The pre- 94 uses R12 and the post- 94 the new stuff 

(134 if I remember right).  The problem is that R12 is more expensive and

harmful to the environment than the 134.  There might be some problems with

availability of R12 in the future also.  Anyway, I fitted an AC kit to 

my 94 miata, and it went very smoothly.  It took me about 3 hours doing it

leisurely.  As far as if you need it, here in Columbus, I find it useful

when it rains in the Summer which is almost other day.
