C/R Radio Retrofit

C/R Radio Retrofit
Recently purchased a C/R with no A/C and radio - meaning no headunit and no speakers. Considering retrofitting the radio. Questions:
(1) I'm assuming there is no wiring harness?
(2) If there is no harness, what's the easiest power source to tap into? Do I need to run a power lead to the battery itself?
(3) What about antenna connection?
All advice welcome.
Thanks in advance.

I'm going to go out on a limb here but I'd be willing to bet that the C/R is prewired with a radio harness, speaker wires and an antenna cable. The C/R has the radio as an option which is probably installed at the dealer if the customer wants one; having it pre-wired makes it easier for the dealers to install. If you are going to buy OEM equipment, it should just plug right in! Make sure you also purchase the factory radio mounting brackets.
P.S. Sorry if this is incorrect but I'd be be willing to bet it's true...

Also, is there an antenna on the car?
