[urq] 85 UrQ- A/C compressor options?

[Patrick Carlier]

Yes it's possible . I 've put a rotary compressor from an  S2
on my 7A conveted CQ . It's not bolt on , it comes down to making
a custom bracket and some plumbing . Toook half a day and it was not much 
trouble .

But , and this could be important .
The S2  was likely one of the last R12 equipped cars .

 I doubt that an R137A compressor can be used on R12 , and I
even more doubt that the stock AC system can handle  R137A .
