Otherwise, it makes sense to take advantage of the design work that Toyota's engineers have already done.

Unless you are the guy getting paid to adapt parts - then I guess you'd want to convince people to pay you to do something
Well i know next to nothin about the a/c system and i
figured from your statement that i should forget about
fittin a compresor from another car.
The reason i was thinkin along those lines was becose the
new compresor wasnt availiable and the dealer said even if it
was - it would prbly cost $900.
