Yes you can use a different compressor, but then you will need custom hoses made. Also, the compressor that vintage air uses is (from what I have read/what everyone says) is a better compressor. It has less parasitic drag on the engine and is better with a/c and more durable.


Also, I believe vintage air has a bracket that you can use to put their typical compressor in the same spot as the r4(which is what the 94 should have) for like $50 or less.
