If you're trying to retrofit one into a 1930s car, it could be done... you'd probably want a system which used a electronically actuated AC compressor, rather than a belt driven one, since the AC compressor, when engaged, is a parasitic drain on the engine.
As for 1930s cars coming with them, it wasn't until 1939 that the first automotive AC system was available in a car.

Running the AC adds extra load to the engine and radiator. If the cooling fan, radiator, thermostat, or coolant level isn’t doing its job, that added heat can push the engine temperature too high. This often shows up in slow traffic or when idling. I saw a case like this at Stewart’s Automotive of Sacramento where a driver said the car overheated only with the AC on. After checking it out, the issue turned out to be a weak radiator fan that wasn’t moving enough air at low speeds. Once the fan was replaced, the car stayed at normal temperature—even with the AC blasting.
The average person did not own a car in the 1930s. In 1930 there was around 1 car for every 4 people. The boom in car ownership happened in the 50s & 60s.

AC runs on the battery. If the car is off and you run the AC, then start the car, it will stall.
Only with considerable difficulty. You're probably better off to trade your car in for one with AC.
The AC condenser would effect the performance of the AC system in the car.
The AC is taking energy
No
your car ac will only blow hot air when there coolannt in the car is finished or the car is oveerheated.
