Having bought and installed OEM a/c into my fj55; some advice: skip the OEM compressor and condensor( in front of radiator). all the electronics and underdash stuff is fine for re-use. the old compressor and primative condensor arent worth the time. When, and not IF your compressor craps out, there are NO service parts for them. I used the original noisy CC2M nippondenso compressor for about two months before it let out all the r12 in the system... went to a sanden 508 and custom brackets and now its quiet and blows 37 degree outlet temp...

Get a modern compressor and new condensor and use OEM parts inside to keep the old school look in the interior...
