Unhappy What's the difference between these AC compressors?

Took off my AC compressor and want to replace. But got a different one. What is the difference between these 2? Thank for help.



This is what was on my FC.

Two different flange styles.
It depends on where you got your replacement compressor and who put the A/C on your car originally.

Many of the 1980's Mazdas didn't come from the factory with A/C, they had it added later on at the dealer or aftermarket... Different people sued different parts.

Suggest getting the lines form the donor car or looking at a few other RX-7s for a proper compressor. It may be as simple as changing the fittings on the hoses.

top one is nippon denso, bottom one is series 5 Sanden( as it clearly shows on the lable)

There is one other type and thats a single hose sanden instead of the two peice hose type show above.

The FSM lists them as factory installed a/c, or dealer option installed.
