Need Help Fast!! AC Compressor Questions..., Is this compatible?? Options

[desertwolf300]

Hi All -

I need some of your knowledge right now. Is the air conditioner compressor in the 5th gen 5SFE motor the same as the 6th gen 5SFE? Are they both R-134? I think I read that it makes a difference if the trannys are auto or manual, could somebody verify this? Please post answers. I found a compressor in a local junkyard and wanted to know if it's compatible. It's 100 degrees here and I'd like to cool off in my car. Thanks.

I found out that the part number is 10PA17VC and printed on a little sticker on the compressor itself. It makes a difference if the car is auto or manual tranny and it has to be R134, not R12. It looks like the only thing I can do is buy a new one and have it installed so they can warrant it.

Luckily, I only have to put up with it for a few more weeks until I leave the country. When I get back in October, it should be cool enough so I won't need it anymore. Then, I'll just fix it next spring. Thanks for the help, though.
