The Union Internationale des Associations d’Alpinisme (UIAA) has put a comprehensive guide to climbing Aconcagua online. It is not enough to get you up to the mountain. However, it will get you a lot of information about the mountain in one easy place.
The information covers the following:

After reading this review a mountaineer will have a good idea of the issues and costs associated with climbing the mountain. If you want more information I would suggest R. J. Secor’s book Aconcagua: A Climbing Guide, Second Edition by R. J. Secor, Uma Kukathas, and Crystal Thomas

Does it mention that the Argentine government will prevent you from attempting the summit if you don't pass their pulse oximeter test? Nevermind that the fingerclip models aren't very reliable. Even if you look and feel fine, it's “go home gringo.”
