I have a 85/1 944 (not sure if my signature has been updated) but i finally decided to go to 134a on AC. SO i pulled the AC out and based on the info on it I ended up getting a great deal on the compressor. Turns out that the AMAZON compressor I ordered is for a Late (85/2-89) car. the compressor was disconnected when I got it and the lines are capped off zip tied to the frame. My previous 944 never had a working AC so I never really delt with this.

So my questions, do I return or is there a simple way to get this guy I purchased on the early car. What exactly is difference between them? It seems to have bolted up just fine anyway to get it to work?

the bracket it mounts to is slightly different and the hose-ends are completely different.
once those are resolved it'd probably work though.

I see, that explains why the hoses were never connected to this unit. once completed this weekend I'll post Pics and any variances I encounter - for future reference should anyone have a similar issue. Thanks again.

it'd be a lot easier to return the one you got and just buy the correct 6E171 model for the early car.
you can get a NEW one from the manufacturer for $400 or so.
