It is possible, but depending on which model you have if you remove the compressor you will need to change the ribbed belt and possibly some of the pulleys.

I had to change two belts and the water pump pulley on my Mk3.

Should just be a new ribbed belt needed then.

Can i take out the air con controls and fit climate control straight into its place?

Or is there other things i would need to do?

cheers
