Condenser differences

I have a condenser I bought years ago and never used but it has the fittings facing to the drivers side of the engine bay. I’m trying to put back the ac and heat into my car so I flipped the condenser and the hawks hose and the stock dual port hard line won’t fit the fittings on the condenser. Did I buy the wrong condenser or do all the condensers fit all the years of the third gens? I tried searching and one condenser is sold out the spectra one. Also my car has an LS swap and I’m using a new 4th Gen Camaro compressor. Everything is on and fits great minus the condenser.

Re: Condenser differences

From what I recall there are 2 different condensers..I think 82 - 84 and then 85 - 92........I think mabe 91 / 92 might be different as well but can;t recall....


All 3rd gens have the fittings on the passenger size though, so sounds like you got the wrong one

Re: Condenser differences

Thank you so much. I bought the spectra one on Amazon. It came in today. Hopefully it fits. 😬
