If you do want to go with the r4 compressor you should be able to find the necessary bracketry and fasteners at a pull a parts with the compressor still intact. You will have to change the hoses.
Any reason why you think it's better? I'm asking because my r4 is noisy and I'm thinking about going with something different. Maybe a V5...
