a/c compressor
« on: July 22, 2011, 04:21:00 PM »

Anyone know if the 1994 capri ac compressor (r134a) is a direct replacement for any of the earlier years, or do things not line up (bolts, pulley, etc)?

I "think" it's the same. I've never tried to install one, but I've removed quite a few and they appear to be the same to me

IIRC the 94 compressor is completely different, it is designed for R134a. I don't know if they can interchange, my guess would be probably not though

you need all the lines to go with it or at least get some made.

I think what he is asking, is can you put the 94 A/C system in a 91-93 car, and have everything line up right, with no mods.
My answer is still "I believe so"

He's asking if the compressor in a 91-93 can be replaced with one from a 94. I don't think it can directly

You'd have to swap out all the lines from a 94, as well, correct?

yes. need a new compressor since I can't find a cheap clutch. system already converted to r134a, wondering if I should just get a 94 compressor. many sites list them as 91-94 and wondering if that was correct.

He will need the compressor & lines in the engine bay if using the 94 parts

What's different about the lines? bends, types of flair, what?

The connection at the compressor & the servicing ports are different.

if you got the 91-93 compressor then you just need to convert the fittings for the R134
