The connections are not the same, so you'd need to do some custom hose work to get it plumbed. I also think the dual electric fans with the shroud are equally important to get good low speed cooling.

Ironically the later 124 cars that came with R-134a from the factory have among the better a/c systems I've experienced; they really make a lot of cold air, even a idle on a 100F day.
