A/C compressor is leaking at seal bad so I was shopping around for one. Most are around 150-200$ but I found this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/BRAND-NEW-AC-HD6-COMPRESSOR-FIT-Park-Avenue-Base-Ultra-Riviera-3-8L-/301499128182?_trksid=p2054897.l4275

But it only claims to fit 95 Rivieras that are NA only. The pic of it sucks and I was wondering if there are really any differences? I understand the belt will be shorter, but it looks like the 6 groove design and I cant think of any reason it would be different?

Thanks!

The mounting is different. The S/C Rivs (Series I) use the mounting ears on the top and bottom, and leave the one on the side unsused. The N/A Rivs (Series II) use the side and bottom mounting ears, with no ear on top. Otherwise, as near as I can tell, they are identical.

I ran into this when I thought I hit the jackpot and bought a fresh reman off a car in the pik-n-pull, thinking the same thing.
