2001 gtp needs A/C help, just got 98 GT w/bad trans but good air(!)

I will try to make sense, the best I know how.

OK, A good friend of mine has/had a green 4 door 98 GT with about 250,000 on it, but it still looks pretty good and the A/c works--if a bit weak. I've fixed all manner of heat/air/plumbing For my buddy--as well as tuning his VTX1800 w/ power commander so that it almost runs with my 919--as a result he told me the car is mine if I want it. Anyway, it appears as though the forward band broke on his trans, so he gave me the car. I'm hoping I can use much of the A/c sys. off his gt on my GTP, but I haven't researched the matter so I could be totally wrong. In any event, I've got room to park it while I take parts off it. I don't have the car "home " yet, but once I do, I'd like to take pics of what looks good on it and offer up whatever parts I dont use to anyone here that needs them. I'm certainly NOT trying to make a buck--I'd much rather see someone in need get parts that will help them keep their own ride alive. That said, I know I want to keep the wheels, most of the AC system--assuming it works on my 01 gtp, and some other bits I anticipate a need for in the near future.
If anyone can shed light on AC swapability, that would be wonderful, also, once I get the car-in the next month i hope, I would gladly share photos with anyone that needs parts. I think you can PM me if you want to receive photos/details once I have the car, or emailme if that doesn't fly >jmb1108@yahoo<....(dotcom afterwards btw). Aside from what i've rambled so far, the motor -3800GT, actually runs well and uses no significant oil between 5000mile changes. the interior is black and isn't torn up, it has HUD, and the body is unmolested-wrecked other than a cracked rear bumper cover.
Any words of wisdom or requests for parts are welcomed--but please know I may not take possession of the car for a month or maybe more. Thanks to all! Mike

PS, don't hesitate to correct/ask for clarity etc. regarding my Prose-or lack thereof! And rest assured, I'm pretty much "un-offendable" Good day! or night(!?)
 


Your compressor will work,some say they go 96-04 and some say 97-04 but your good to go and if they both got auto ac/heat your blower and controls should,manual and auto have different blower resistors
 
Thanks for the replies, Guys, Been away a few days. The interior controls all look the same and I'm hoping it's just the compressor, but I don't wan to tear into it until I've got the other car sitting there.
 


I just know on my 04 comp g it was different so that's what I'm going from but it's possible there is some run over of old compressors
 
IIRC when Max scrapped his 97 and I wanted to use a couple of the hoses on my neighbors 02, they were different. Not super different, but something was different that kept me from using the 97 part on the 02.
 
Often I use rockauto to see if things fit. Take a look at the years in question and see if they list it as interchangeable.
 
I'm well acquainted with Rockauto, Thanks Bill. I just don't have the car yet so I haven't checked, and RockAuto was my first thought as well. Just been real busy and also wanted to let others know that when-(if)? I get the car, I'll gladly part it out at shipping cost and maybe a few bucks for labor if I have to put some hours into it.

After reading my initial post it looked like I didn't know how to check interchangeability-my bad.
