How do I tell what AC comp?

When selecting belts...
It tells me belt for AC w/ Sanden A/C Compressor, or w/ Nippondenso A/C Compressor.
Is there a easy way to tell?

The compressor manufacturer should be marked right on the compressor itself...

Even easier, with the nipon ac there is a bright yellow sticker on the driver schok tower that says warning blah blah blah and then says nippondenso at the bottom.

Ok... no yellow sticker...
and the PS says KOYO on it...
The ac only has 2 noticible markings, UK on the back, and in and out.
Nothing noted in the manual.


Assume its the sanden if theres no giant sticker???

If you can get a mirror (or your face) down there, I know that the Sanden has a sticker on its side that says....Sanden. (Or at least mine does.)

I beleive TII's (my 1988 anyway) came with ND compressors from the factory and the N/A's were retrofit in the states with A/C units from Sanden. The reason I know this is that I purchased one of the complete retrofit kits, took out my ND compressor and put in the entire retrofit kit and it had a Sanden compressor. I had to take a compressor mounting bracket off my 1987 N/A parts car in order for the Sanden to fit.
