[V8] A/C Compressor

[32vquattro]

Afaik, you can't put a 134-a compressor, without changing the lines as
well.....they don't match up. Guess what else you will be changing....that's
right, the condensor, accumulator, and dryer....the whole system. Stick with
the r12 compressor...get the expansion valve and do the r134-a conversion
and call it a day. Al
