If you guys can't tell I'm hunting down all the accessories for my 2001 Tahoe 5.3L getting it prepped for the V8 swap into my Sonoma. I was looking at Car-Part .com for A/C compressors locally and found an option to select "w/ rear A/C" and "w/o rear A/C". My family has a 2002 Suburban at home and I know all about the rear 3rd row seating with selectable A/C and all, but I am curious as to what is the difference in the actual compressors themselves? Are the lines or fittings different or anything like that? Obviously this motor is going into an extended cab pickup WITHOUT any sort of rear A/C but perhaps the "w/ rear A/C" compressor is more powerful because it has to support the load of two separate A/C systems? I don't know, so I ask.

Anyone know of a difference?

 

I know it's not that exciting of a topic but does anyone know? In a few days here I'll have to pick up the compressor, just wondering if anyone knows the differences?
