The one I got was the R134 Behr for 95.00.
I got the compressor the car had so I could just mount it.

Both items are new, their descriptions said R134.
On the compressor, I traded at least 20 messages verifying it was the correct unit.
Under item specifics:
Refrigerant Type: R134a
Replacement serpentine flow condensor compatible for R12 and R134A A/C systemsLast edited by parkerbink; 09-02-2017, 06:19 AM.

It's a huge problem since mixing them will ruin your system. That's an r134 compressorSeat Shocks....I have passed the baton to John Christy from Ninestitch. Email John or Garrett at ninestitch1@gmail.com

It is the same compressor that was there, the deed is done, the expansion valve & condensor that came out were the same, ac is back, only thing is the Gates 7328 that was in there was too small. To get the ac charged I had to use my power steering belt although it is slightly larger (slightly loose).
What belt are people using with the Sanden compressor?

It's hard to see but the compressor seems to have a wobble. Do I need to contact the seller?
Because it's a video it won't let me do anything but post the link. Sorry

Just an FYI for you guys that do not want to convert their system. You can use HC-12a which is legally obtained and compatible with R-12. Beats the hell out of flushing a system and converting to a less efficient gas.
"HC-12a, also called ES-12a, OZ-12a, and Hydrocarbon Blend B, is a "drop-in" replacement refrigerant for Freon-12. It is considered nearly non-ozone-depleting. The mixture can be used in refrigeration systems designed for R-12. HC-12a provides better cooling than an R-12 system retrofitted to R-134a, with much greater energy efficiency as well. Unlike R-134a, HC-12a is completely compatible with the hoses and oils used in R-12 systems, making the conversion much easier to accomplish. HC-12a is also patent-free due to its non-synthetic nature."
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride! -Hunter S. Thompson

is it worth replacing the aux fan when doing a Nissens PF condenser?
is it a 14" or 16" SPAL pusher required, and how much more air does it move compared to the stock aux?
any specific models that make mounting easy?89 E30 325is Lachs Silber - currently M20B31, M20B33 in the works, stroked to the hilt...

To mount it I did mod 2 of the 3 brackets. 1 I twisted 90 degrees and one I drilled out the rivet and reversed it. I also bought a SPAL pigtail so the entire assembly is removable without removing the valance.Seat Shocks....I have passed the baton to John Christy from Ninestitch.
