I wouldn't be surprised to find that the compressor is similar, but I don't
think they are identical. I believe you're looking for a 4.2 equipped model
... and if so you will find more differences from a 1991 200Q/20V. Exhaust
system is quite different.
Sometimes I wish I lived a bit closer to the east coast. I wouldn't mind
taking a chance on the Black Mariah ... even though black on black isn't my
favorite ... but I'm worried that transportation costs would add 50% to the
cost of purchase. Anyone know of cheaper ways to ship cars coast to coast?

And another question that I have. How many of the subsystems of the 200 and
the V8 similar or the same? Are the air conditioning systems the same? The
same compressor, the same receiver drier, the same fan motor for the HVAC
system?
The reason I am asking is that since The Black Mariah doesn't want to leave,
maybe, just maybe she should stay around and become a parts car for my new,
yet to arrive, yet to be located V8. The a/c system in The Black Mariah is
new...last summer. The exhaust system is NEW, Stebro, this winter.
Maybe I should part her out afterall. Just keep the pieces that I think I
will need on a shelf, and have the remainder hauled away.
No. I don't really have the time to pull pieces off, but maybe I should MAKE
the time. I am not sure how I will deal with the engine and transmission,
though.....unless someone will buy the carcass with engine and transmission
and haul it off?
I hate to give it to someone like Shokan for $300, since I KNOW that there
are $2500 in new parts hanging on her right now.
But she is gonna have to go somewhere, sometime before next year at this
time because we will be moving....
