The only real "expertise" I have on these has been removing them and 
throwing them out, but, the locations are the same, perhaps even 
"exactly" the same (they seemed so to me - the front engine "mount" 
snubber thing holds the top of the compressor on both designs and seems 
to be the same).  If you're lucky, the hose fitments etc. might be the 
same, too.

I'd go do some looking at my "fleet," but the only shell with an AC 
compressor in it right now is an 87.5 cgt, so that won't tell us much 
that you don't already know.
