Default A/C compressor

Does anyone here happen to have a spare A/C compressor laying around? I'll buy it! Don't really care if it works or not. My compressor snapped on the top (the part that attatches to the alternator and it's just hanging around. doesn't affect anything but I need to replace the compressor with something so it wont just be laying around. lol I'll post up a pic soon.

I have one. It's off an 87 parts car so not tested. Probably leaks like all the others

$100 shipped?

You can flip the compressor over...I have a late 944 unit pulled off a customer car that had the same thing happen, so the previous mechanic just turned it over and bolted it back up. Didn't work for AC but kept belt tight.

essentially, that shouldn't affect the ac at all right? If I flipped it?

The AC will not work with the compressor flipped. The compressor manifold must be at the top and not the bottom.
