AC Compressor for a 1980
Recommendation for a replacement compressor? Would like to keep the stock appearance. I see ACDelco 15-2232 which is a rebuilt unit looks like the original from on line pictures. Another choice is to purchase a new ACDelco or 4 Seasons, they appear to be the same compressor and have a somewhat different look than the originals.
4 Seasons is owned by Standard Motor Parts and they also own the Factory Air and Compressor Works brands which look identical to the 4 Seasons. The Napa brand compressors also look like the 4 Seasons brand.
I have read to stay away from rebuilt products but it looks like if you want an original unit rebuilt is the only alternative?
Are the new units from Standard Motor Parts a better choice than the rebuilt AC Delco?

I asked if anyone has experience using the Ac Delco part listed?
Then asked as an alternative, for recommendations on where to have an R4 compressor rebuilt?
Still would like some help.
Thanks
