Alright so I have a 1990 240sx SE hatchback, power nothing. I blew my SOHC and I'm swapping in a DE from a 1991 240. now i contacted the nissan dealer to see if they could get a line on the A/c bracket, I got the compressor and lines from my SOHC and they said it should work. Now the guy I bought the DE from came outta his 91 240, he swapped a twin turbo 300zx motor in idk the name off the top of my head. but when i went to the nissan dealer they said for me to get the part i needed the VIN number so it could put me on the priority list to receive the part. the guy i bought the motor from wouldnt give me his VIN number instead, he gave me a VIN from a 93 he found off craigslist. I thought it was from the 91 and gave it to the nissan dealer. now i dont think this is true, but they said that the bracket for the a/c pump is different on a 91 as opposed to the 93. Could someone please tell me if this is true or not? after I get the part imma start a build thread even though i already have all my parts ready but that one. thanks guys

I thought that they were the same. It would seem to me that they would be for a 91-94 seeing as the motor's are the same through those years so I'd figure the bracket for the ac would be the same.
