Ah. Depending on the refridgerant used, I would recomend installing different compressors... a 93 compressor if it'* R12, a 94 if it'* R134a. Someone who can look at the car needs to find out which it has. I'll get part numbers real quick.

The best way to determine what you have/had is by looking for a sticker in the engine bay (typically on top of the radiator shroud) that indicates it was updated to R134A along with a date of service. If you can't find that sticker then try checking with the previous owner.
