My air conditioner seems to be always either leaking or broken. So, I guess it's time for a total rebuild. I wonder if I can pull air conditioner system (condenser, evaporator, drier) from other car and put it in E30? Since modern A/C seems to be cooler, I would love if I can swap one in.

I heard that there are parallel flow condensers for E30, but couldn't find info on Google.

Thanks!
