I need some help to fix the A/C in my Fiero GT with the 2.8 V6. The compressor went bad and at the junkyard the only decent replacement I could get was one from a Buick Century. Ones at a parts store are almost $200 but this one was $35. The Buick was junked with apparently only 35k miles on it and this compressor looks and turns fantastic. But it is the same except for the front mounting piece. I need advice about switching or turning the front mounting head in the right config to fit the Fiero. Can it just be turned OR would it be better to swap the front head with the old Fiero unit? I read up on the problem and it would figure the reed valves are bad in the old Fiero unit so the head should still be good. The Buick unit would be awesome because the Buick system was still fully charged when we took it apart. So I figure to get the Buick unit mounted properly and charge the system with R134 again and I'll be cool, cool, cool in the Fiero again. Please help.
