Default A/C

Hey I have everything for air conditioning on my 96 that's destined for the wreckers and i was wondering will everything work/bolt on my 94 that doesn't have air?

Also what would cause the condenser or compressor or whatever its called not to turn on when A/C does. It still had plenty of Freon when i drained it.

Yes take everything you can, and it might be just a switch or loose wire.

'94 is R12 and '96 is 134A. You should be able to make it work though, the 134A system is better since you can't buy R12 anymore without a license.

Did mine in a day. From heat only to cold a/c. Didn't feel like making the 134A system work on my '87 though.

'87 and '94 are very different. I think the wiring change was in '92 but the major refrigerant system changes were in '95.
