I have a 1993 940 A/C Compressor in my posession that i am considering putting on my 1990 745 When i put the rebuilt engine in, ive already put the conversion kit into the car and am running 134A but im figuering that a compressor built for 134A would provider better cooling. has anyone put a 900 Series compressor into there volvo?
It has the same bolt in design as the original, the only diff i can see so far is there is no place to actually pour oil into the compressor and the connection hoses are not facing upwards but at slight angels, nothing that could not be overcome.
Any ideas or input is deff welcome

    From what I'm understanding. The compressors aren't different when it comes to working with the gas. It's the evaporator, accumulator, and orifice tube, and condensor that have to be messed with on an retro. I have seen the inside of them. There isn't much to change out. Except maybe the lubrication. If the old compressor is working. I would just keep using it. Good luck
