Are any of the AC components from a 98 S14 Interchangeable with S13s?

My friend just totalled his S14 and is parting it out locally and i have chance to buy any of his AC components... just wondering if anyone knows if anything will work on my 93 S13 cause none of my AC components work and i know all of his do....

Condensor will fit but will not bolt up the OE holes, compressor will fit if you use the bracket as well, and you'll have to use the S14 low pressure and high pressure lines since they're S14 specific (97-98 specific even). The problem you'll run into is the evaporator core is different (outlets are not side by side like the S13) so you'd have to cut a new hole in the firewall since the S14 lines won't fit the S13 unit. Then, the drier is a 97-98 specific part as well, and since the system is going to be opened you'll need a new one. Dealer is the only option, they don't make an aftermarket one to fit the Kouki models.

Basically it's doable but with a lot of effort and cost, way easier to just fix the problem you current system has, unless every single piece is damaged (unlikely).

yeah looks like dealer is the best option... ah well... thought it might be a little more cost effective
