Those are some sort of rotary compressor and I have heard people have tried without success. You can always try and be the first one to do it tho -hehe. Even if it works for a moment it might not work for a few hours...

That is a Frigidaire unit. They were mostly used on GM's I think. The big Lincolns used them too. My Father in-laws 72 Mercedes 350SL even has one.
