i would stay well away from retro-fitting air-con taken from another vehicle. you have to remove it from vehicle A and put into vehicel B on the same day, otherwise the receiver dryer gets moisture in it, deeming it useless. and air-con gas is fucking dangerous

Virtually no aircon system parts from an e34 are compatible with an e30. As for refrigerant being dangerous , very true, mind you the chances of finding any in an e34 are pretty slim ! :)
