Air-con pump swap

Czhornet

I have a 04 corolla with a 2.0 D4D engine and a fully functioning air-con system.
Can the pump/compressor be changed over to a 03 Avensis with a 2.0 D4D engine, without too much modification (mounting points, belts, pipes and electrics?)

Thanks.

does the Avensis have air con to start with?
Are you trying to put air con into a car that never had it before

Retrofitting A/C into a car that does not have A/C is a nightmare. The compressor is the easiest bit, but you have to remove the heatercore in the dash and replace it with a heatercore/evaporator assembly. Then running all the pipes/cables etc.

I'd say a 2 day job, with a complete exact same model donor car for all the parts/pipes/cables/clips/etc etc.

Yes the Avensis had air con at one stage, the pipes are there taped up and cable tied together. The switch on the dash comes on when pressed, just no pump at the minute, just trying to see if it a runner before i start ripping!!
