Arrow Frustrating AC Condenser question

Can anyone tell me how many types of condensers their are for the Rx7? I know there are typically 2. My condenser broke on my 93 R1, so i need a condenser. Now i find that my AC has been changed over to R134a. Do i need a condenser from an R1 or a 95 rx7 with R134a? How can I tell which condenser i got?

If your AC worked with the condenser you had you ought to be able to use the same model again. Are you unsure of what you already have?

Yes, Im confused as to which condenser i have. How can i tell which condenser i have because a fitting broke off of it and cant be welded on. So i have to order a condenser, but which one

there are 2 condensors. the nd and the mana, you have a mana car (port installed ac, is your reciever drier black?) so you need the mana condenser. the nd one will not bolt up. they used the same condensor for r12 and r134 witch is one reason the r134a doesnt work very well

So, if i have a mana (r1) condenser, is there anything else comparable to it? Heres the thing, there seems to be a short supply of rx7 condenser's for an R1. Ive got one i can buy for a 94 with R-134a, and im trying to figure out if its the right size.

So does a newer R-134a condenser fit a mana car, or do i have to just look for an R1 condenser(very hard).

Thanks again
