They say they have it, but it is wrong part number. I tried already. So there are some other differences I am sure, since the compressor mounts and fittings and whatnot must be different too. So who knows what other little things are not the same?
Huh, never knew that. Makes me happy to have dumb-lucked my way into a 2000!
