Default Climate control swap?

Will the mechanical (**** and lever) unit from an '84 work in an '88 with the push button digital unit?

Thanks Stu

No, they are not interchangeable.

If you want to swap a manual unit over to the auto climate unit, you might be able to with enough time, money and persistance.
But it won't be easy or cheap.

Thanks LT. I actually have the digital in my 88 which is worn out but found someone with a nice manual from an 84. I was just hoping they were interchangeable.
