    Does anyone know if a A/C condenser from a 1992 (R-12) will work on a 1995
    (R-134). I just found out that the evaporators are different, tried to install a 92 evap. into my 95 and the pipe/hose connections are different. I can get the matching pipe/hose, but I'm afraid the same problem will arise on the condenser side. Would hate to waste my time, but I'm trying to save some money at the same time. Thnx

    I figured it out somewhat, so in case someone else tries to swap out there evaporator, the hook up high/ low sides are different on both the evap. Side and condenser side. Weird thing is the part number is the same for 89-95 evaporator. I broke down the housing to see if the expansion valve could just be swapped over, but no luck.
    So either I get the ends cut and welded to match, or I'm gonna see if the piping from the drier is the same, if so I will swap out the system from the drier outlet to the compressor inlet.
