Probably need to look for a 93, maybe 94. These were the only years with serpentine belts on an IDI. The compressor will be the same for either serpentine setup (gas or diesel) but you will probably need IDI specific hoses.

If your truck didn't come with A/C, you will probably need the firewall heater box to accomodate the evaporator. I've never seen a '92-97 without A/C, but the earlier models are this way.

Hope this answers your question
Jason
