AC compressor swap (was loads of questions....

[Doyt W. Echelberger]

Here is everything I know about compressors and air conditioning. I have 
a  TSP on converting from Freon to R-134a, and it has charts which show 
what compressor is found on each model.

It sez that the model 5000 used the Nippondenso compressor, and that the 
model 200 used either that same compressor or a Zexel compressor.  And it 
didn't say which compressor was used on any specific year of the 200, just 
either one or the other.

So, I guess you have to look.

Listers,
Does anyone know/or BTDT:

Can a 88 5000 A/C compressor be used on a 90 200TQ? How about the clutch 
being swapped only? Compatable?

Further more, would there be any problems with removing some of my A/C 
components? I'm considering taking off the compressor and a leaking 
condenser. I would feel wierd having a system thats open to atmosphere. Any 
problems there?

Any good advice on doing a inner CV boot? Me and fellow Q lister Scott 
Miller are going to attempt it tommorow....

What's the best place underneath the car to support the jackstands? The 
subframe is ok I presume? Is there a better place?

Thanks,
Steve
