What's needed to put AC in a BG that didn't have it stock?

Assuming you have the 2x pipes for the AC to hook up to [back left corner on the firewall next to the diagnostic port], you would need an AC compressor/belt/tensioner, the condenser that sits in front of the radiator, all the engine bay piping and you might even need a new climate control module and AC/ECO button. But this is all assuming the internal AC bits inside the dash are there.

all mazdas are prewired for A/C... all you need is to put the parts in to make it work
mazda used to sell the A/C kits for the BG but they long since been discontinued, so your best bet is just getting the parts off a donor car
