88 ac box on a 87?
 
can I use a 88 ac box on my 87? The one on my 87 I am working on is broken. I do have an 88 parts car here that has a nice one, will they interchange? Thanks for any help.

AFAIK they're all the same.

If the evap is different enough to cause trouble, and your existing one is OK, they're easy enough to swap out.

The usual way these things die is, the lower surface toward the engine, turns to dust, from the heat off of the exhaust, and develop a giant hole down there where you can't really see it. Now's the time to get rid of any of that that's bad and replace it with body fiberglass or the like.
