is it possible to replace the engine-components of the AC from a salvaged Prius?

    having air-conditionerAC problems and thinking of trying to take another AC out of a junked car. Never heard of that being done before, but I know the salvage AC works.

    I know replacing the vents into the car isn't possible but any parts that might be in the engine compartment might be doable.

    Definitely possible, and way more likely to go well if the work is done by somebody who gets how A/C works.

    do you know if there is a schematic for it? If I have to tear out the engine to get the needed parts, I'm not gonna do it.
