Here's the entire shopping list you'll need for a full job.
Condensor http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=816244&cc=1060423&jsn=468

Oriface Tube http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=815425&cc=1060423&jsn=495
AC hose. Replace if yours is OEM, 30 years does a lot to rubber. http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=818275&cc=1060423&jsn=510
AC seal kit http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=1251304&cc=1060423&jsn=517
Condensor - replacement is a good idea but not necessary, this one has loads more fins than your factory one. If using old one, it MUST be flushed with a can of AC flush. http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=3612081&cc=1060423&jsn=476&jsn=476
Your evaporator in most cases does not need replacement, but DOES need flushing.
You WILL ALSO NEED
Vacuum pump (rent from Autozone) and draw vacuum to -30hg after new system installed
Synthetic PAG 150 AC oil - add 4 oz to COMPRESSOR and 4 oz to CONDENSER https://www.amazon.com/TSI-Supercool-P150-8-PAG-150-Viscosity/dp/B01029565W
Conversion kit for AC valves to go from R12 to R134A refrigerant https://www.amazon.com/Interdynamics-VA-LH12-Conditioning-Conversion-Adapters/dp/B002G1UO8E
40 oz of r134A - so 4 of these cans. DO NOT use the AC pro or any other kind that ALSO has AC oil in the can. That will over-oil your AC system and can cause damage. This is pure r134A and cheap. dump 3 full cans in, and weigh the 4th can WITH THE GAUGE ON IT. With the AC on, fill the system until the can weighs 4oz less than what you started with. This will get you the exact amount of refrigerant you need. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Super-Tech-Refrigerant-R-134a/617476716#about-item

So total, you're looking at roughly $355 for all of it
If you don't need/want the condenser, then that drops to $295 or so.
I had an oxygen sensor go bad, and no SES code. It was still working, but putting out FALSE DATA. Hesitated, and went no more than 55mph (89kmh). I used my ≈$80 Harbor Freight obd2 code reader that showed live sensor data, and that's where I found out bank 1 was not like the other! This was after I threw $700+ worth of parts at it towards the fuel, and ignition systems. Also, I agree with everyone saying OEM is the way to go.
First bank O2 sensor off a 98 Blazer.

Some sites say upstream and downstream are the same (BOSCH #15703)? I honestly don't remember. I could have just swapped with the downstream O2 sensor to test it out?
Also cleaning the Mass Air Flow sensor might be a good idea.
Along a story's shorts... sensors working improperly might not give you a code.
Unplugging the MAF sensor off my brother's car (a Saturn), negated false data from some bad downstream sensors. He had a Throttle Position Sensor spitting out false data (read 2.7 when at closed throttle), and a busted Air Intake Temperature sensor (read absolute zero). Was a no start sitch. It defaulted to the open loop default algorithm or something, and worked with marginally worse fuel economy. Surprised, but it worked. Just thought it was worth mentioning.
You mentioned that you have replaced your exhaust. ANY exhaust leaks between the engine and the upstream O2 sensors will throw off the O2 sensor data. Same with intake - any cracks or leaks between the MAF sensor, and the engine will also throw the data off.
I am 50 state legal, no SES codes, but runs like shit! Yay Chevy.
