There are 2 compressor types, depending on the engine serial number. Both compressors are still listed as available through US dealer sources, so Internet parts vendors like Peach Parts should have no trouble filling your order. An alternate source is the MBUSA Classic Center in Irvine, Calif. With your MBCA membership, you'll get a 15% discount, that makes it fairly competitive with I-net vendors.
