It looks like my SVO is ready for getting the compressor and lines from a '93 2.3L.
The dryer / accumulator from the has either a barbed or beadlock fitting, it matches Turbocoupe's so it can use the pressure switch from it.
The compressor for the '93 has a bracket which fits the block, and comes with the serpentine v-belt and a belt tensioner. It looks about the same size and shape as the factory 85 compressor.
It accepts a two terminal plug clutch switch.
The condenser from the '93 should bolt right up.
The lines between each of them are still available for the '93. In fact I can buy a line with the dryer already attached.
Now, I'm running an LA3 so I can accept the pressure switch signal that fits on the dryer.
I've done the serpentine belt retrofit already as well.
The compressor is already R134a compatible.
I was really freaked out when Hose Wizards stopped selling their kit, but to be honest it looks like for my case it was good I didn't go with them anyway.
With a pulley conversion, I wonder if there is any need for a special built kit...
I'm many months out from trying this out, but optimistic.
