Are the A/c compressors interchangable between a 93 lx 2.3 and our cars?

I would guess no, since the 93 still used R-12, and we had R-134a. They could use some common parts between the two though? Are you looking for a compressor, and hoping you could just toss the 93 one on your 95?

The 93 lx 2.3, A/c works fine, but I'm doing a 4 to 8 swap. and the front of the engine is all 94 - 95 with the timing cover, water pump, brackets. The top is fox body with the intake and distributor. I have A/C hoses from a 95 Cobra. I was hoping that the A/C would mount to the bracket and the hoses would bolt up.

The engine is about 90% built and still on the stand. My plans are to to pull the engine and transmisson together and have the new engine and transmission together ready to drop in. I may power wash the engine bay and give it a spray paint job.

I'm not sure how the hoses attach to the 2.3's compressor, but I remember my Fox GT having a threaded fitting for each line (high and low pressure). My 95 has one fitting sealed by o-rings, with one bolt holding it on between the high and low lines. It may work, but would probably take some work to get the lines right.
