Condenser Swap???

I'm guessing my condenser is seized in my 85, but a guy from work has one from an 89 S10 Blazer...he's a mechanic and said if they looked enough alike in comparison then I should be able to change the assembly and use it. I wanted to see if anyone has any experience with it and if you think it can be done, thanks.

It will work.

It may even work better. Typically, the truck compressors have a slightly smaller drive pulley, which will increase your compressor rpm.

keep in mind though that the 89 blazer will have a serpentine belt clutch assembly on the compressor, compared to your v-belt 85 camaro.. You'll need to change the clutch assemblies out.
