As long as it's an R1(2) (or a base with a black receiver/dryer) it should work.

After rereading my post, it might be a little vague.

Between 93 and 94 models there were two systems, factory installed and port installed. The parts are almost identical except the thread sizes are very slightly different so they aren't interchangeable.

The factory installed is found on tourings and recognizable by a silver dryer. That's the can shaped thing near the driver's headlight.

The port installed system is found on the base and R models. This one has a black dryer.

As far as I'm aware, the respective systems are the same on 93' and 94's. 95's went to R-134 so I'm not aware of the differences there.

So basically, If you have a black dryer (like you should), as long as you take the condensor from another car with the black dryer, it should work.

hope that helps.

the 94 R134 system is NOT the same fitting as the 93 R12. u cannot swap the compressor or the condenser due to the fittings being larger on the R134a. there is also a canadian model AC that is not interchangeable if your car was brought in from canada.

Has your system been converted to R134a? I've seen a lot of 93s that have.

The o-rings have to be compatible with the refrigerant in the system. You can't use o-rings from an R12 system in an R134a system, but I'm not sure about the other way around...

I have a 94 and the dryer is black and it is an R-12 system. by the way it's 134a not r134 and most if not all 94's are r-12
