I'm not sure how much traffic this site has any more with regards to the M60 stuff but I didn't see anything on adding air conditioning to your M60 car. I'm in the middle of it right now and figured I'd document it if anyone is interested. Its fairly straightforward but requires some workarounds for the radiator hoses and ac line fittings.

I'm not really wanting to add A/C to my M60 swap, But I would defiantly be interested in how you did it. and documenting it here will give the options for others in the future to see what you did.
Like you said, There really isn't much out there about it, so adding your 2 cents wouldn't hurt!Dumpster Fire Pilot -
To me seems like M60 swaps into E30s are thing of the past like M30.Comment

I basically just used the stock m60 compressor and replaced the rest of the parts in the e30 with r134 compatible parts. New expansion valve, parallel flow condenser, accumulator, and then an adapter kit for the r134 charging fittings. Also replaced all o-rings.
I have a radiator shop nearby that makes custom a/c lines for around $125 a piece. I had them make two new lines that go to the compressor. One line is bulging into the lower radiator hose which I don't love.
I had the system charged, it worked for 5 minutes and then stopped and haven't messed with it since. I've been having fan/cooling issues and need to address those first. A/C is on my list of things to repair this spring because I would love for it to be functional.
Curious what you ended up doing here OP
