I don't know but I would think not, go to rockauto (they are a vendor sponsor) and check the part numbers. They have pictures too, sometimes of the actual part.

@raun93lx

The compressor mount is different on the 95 engine and the 95 mount bracket doesn't line the compressor up correctly when used on a 86-93 Mustang.

Think about it this way, 94-5 compressor will require you to use the brackets from that year changing the position of ps and ac, those two things alone will require different hoses, probably custom made ($$) not to mention the water pump and pulley, crank pulley and whatever else to get the belt to line up, where the fox stuff will bolt on and use stock hoses, pulleys and belts. And look like it belongs there for less money and time.

Go fox style all the way. Don't even consider anything SN95 other than brakes off one.
