Default 95+ has different AC lines?

so i did a motor swap (put a 2jz into my 92 SC400)
and my 2jz was out of a 1995 sc300.

the 95 sc300 AC compressor seems to have the alignment rollpins in opposite spots from the 92-94.

has anyone else experienced this?

i am pretty sure i'm going to have to get custom lines now!

i have a 95 sc300 and a R-12 1jz compressor('92), the roll pins match up for me.

R134 should have been introduced in 93

i also have a 95 compressor and a 93 sc300 roller i can check the lines on

it was '94. i recently swapped compressors and noticed the lines didn't match up (93 SC400, r134a converted from r12 to one off a 97 SC400 that was factory r134a).

See post #3 https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...-question.html

maybe will help if you have the old compressor...

i think since my chassis is a 92 sc400, it would just be easiest to get a 92 AC compressor.
I have all 92-93 chassis stuff with a 95 2jzGE/AC compressor

i just got the two 92 sc300 AC lines (right off the compressor) and they dont bolt onto my 95 compressor
