Default 81 FB condenser in a '74

Would a newer condenser fit/work with a '74? Found a used one for cheap.

I have a newer chinese compressor but maybe the plumbing for the condenser would be different if anything?

Previous owner put a screw thru mine... 🙄

Thanks

You're better off with a parallel-flow condenser if you intend to use R134a. Find a bolt-in kit like this: https://www.originalair.com/72-81-fi...-parallel-flow

'72-81 for BOP engines were the same. Chev engines used different plumbing.

Oh, just saw link saying same. All good. Compare the pipe outlets and angles, there's 2 types as above. I'd imagine a 6-cyl version would also be for chev in a '74. but most are Pontiac back then.
