AC on '85 740 Turbo - Swap from '93+ car? 700

Everyone,

I have a '85 740 turbo I am working on cleaning up and I am interested restoring the AC system and converting to R134. The heater core on this car has recently given up the ghost so I have signed up to digging into the dash already. Since I am going in anyway, I was wondering anyone can comment on the differences between the AC system on my '85 and the later '93+ 740/940 cars which came with R134 stock. Are there any components behind the dash I should consider swapping with a later car while I am diving in there? Any other improvements with the heater/blower system that I should snag from '93+ car? As always thanks in advance everyone!

Thanks!
Brian
