im in the process of 20v swapping my corolla, i dont really know what to do about climate control, can i just use an A/C compressor and other components from any old 86, should i look for a smallport compressor, or should i try and source a compressor from a 20v? i have the condenser, heater core, and all the piping needed, i just need a compressor. all help is appreciated

For the easiest setup is to use the rwd 16v compressor and (someone correct me if I'm wrong) rwd main pulley. Iirc if you use the 20v pulley there's some shaving involved.

would, the condenser and other components from my SR5 still work?

Everything from the sr5 is compatible but the compressor because it's a single rib pulley. If you use the sr5 compressor you would need need to swap all the pulleys from the sr5 to the 20v to make it work.(I've only seen it done on a 16v but in theory should work on the 20v)

i believe the AC compressor that denso sells comes with the pully on it, ill just need to find a new accessory belt

That is correct. Good luck with your project

thank you!!, ill post how it goes, and i hope the same setup works when i eventually go 7A

If you can't get the A/C working just use the good 'ol 2/75.

can you explain? im not very familiar with climate control systems.

I've always heard this one... you need to shave the compressor mount to align both pulleys right?

The idler, and compressor pulleys to be precise.
