Original = Made in America

Aftermarket = Made in China.

Even if you kept the original you would still need all new hoses, the condensor and finding the correct style pump built for R 134.

new ones will run much more efficiently. not to say the original ones wont work.

Also not ALL of the aftermarket AC's are chinese either, some parts may be though.

Re: Factory air VS aftermarket ,what best and difference ?

factory equipment was state of the art then ....

aftermarket has been a bit upgraded since then ( besides being made overseas =0( )

if it was me IMO, as mentioned from BigD " new hoses, the condensor and finding the correct style pump built for R 134 " i would just upgrade these item(s) ...
