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

[koenigj at comcast.net]

Transverse.  A long shot, of course, but I was thinking there may be some more up-to-date compressor and/or mounting options.

Was the Eurovan a transverse or longitudinal L5?

Just a thought, no real info., but the same basic 5-pot was used in VW 
Eurovans, if I'm not mistaken.  Possibilities there?

Folks- 

Just heard my compressor is shot. This is an 85 UrQ, stock compressor is 
035-260-803C. Available new from the usual suspects for over $1K (not 
happening) or rebuilt for under $200, but since I have to replace it anyway 
wondering if there are any better options than the boat anchor mini-York 
like a modern rotary compressor that will bolt up or can be adapted to fit. 

Anyone gone down this road successfully? 

TIA
