89 - 94 compatibility

Looking at a 89 7.3 non turbo crew cab one ton with a dump box to replace my 94 oil sucking turbo 3/4 ton flatbed.
The 89 has 230k while my 94 has 280k.
Not sure if I'll be able to get much for my 94 so I'm looking into parting it out so I'm curious if and or how much trouble it would be to swap the AC from my 94 to the 89.

The parts out under the hood should swap rather easy.

The inside parts will probably be a bit harder, as I remember the dash and controls are completely different.

The 94 is a serpentine belt and the 89 is not.

Serpentine belt or V belts just means swapping a few more parts.

If the 89 has a non working AC, you can put the V belt AC clutch on the compressor and swap compressors.

If the 89 does not have AC, then you are into a lot more work.

I don't think I'm going to mess with the ac stuff, looks like a lot of work. The 89 does have OD.
The 94 is listed on craigslist in Moorhead mn, If she doesn't sell in two weeks I'm going to start parting it out. wink wink nudge nudge
Between the parts that I can use and the parts that I should be able to sell, I should be able to make up the difference.
