The R-4 compressor that was OEM on my car was GM. I replaced it two years ago with a reman R-4. Compressor cost was around $130.

Checking my local McParts place today, I find two reman R-4's available, one for $169.98 and one for $134.99 (both with clutch).

If your compressor looks like the one below, you have the R-4, and it should be easy to get. The decision on new vs. reman is up to you. My opinion is that reman is ok for R-12 installations, new is best for R-134a.
