Really nobody has tried any of this?

I can tell you from my experience that many of the lines are similar but the compressor and compressor bracket is different.

If you are talking about the ac/heater "box" then it is the same. As stated the compressor and brackets are different and most likely the connectors on the lines for the compressor. The wiring should be the same if not close enough for you to just splice them together. Hope that helps.
