Default Installing 94-95 AC compressor on 92-93 system

I plan on installing a new 94-95 AC compressor on my 93 civic cx. The system has already been converted to r134a. The reason I plan on getting a 94-95 compressor is because the sanden compressor is cheaper for the 92-93. I had heard the 94-95 compressor won't fit with 92-93 lines on one side not sure if high or low side? Anyone have experience with this? I need to know what new lines I need buy to make this compressor work with my 92-93 system. Hopefully I can keep my condensor and receiver.

The fittings going into the compressor are the same. It is the hard lines going to firewall that are different. I have a 94 that had ac and I used a 92 ac condensor.

Is that a typo you said you used a 92 ac condensor? Did you mean compressor?

No all of my ac system is 94 except the ac condenser fan. I had some r12 lines that connected to the r134 compressor but not at the firewall.

Confused my question was does the two 92-93 r12 lines fit the 94-95 r134a compressor without issue. Not sure what the condenser has to do with it.
