I'm looking for a used or rebuilt A/C compressor for my '85 240DL, since the thing seized up a couple of weeks ago. I've already bought the FCPGroton conversion kit to R134a, but haven't installed yet.
One source rebuilts asks if I need a DKS 15BH or 15CH type.
What's the difference? What I have is a dead 15BH, but is this what I'll need after doing the R134a conversion?

If I go with a used part, what should I be looking for (e.g. from what years & models of bricks) to go with the new refrigerant in my '85?

Even though I may want to replace the whole thing, I'm still curious about removing the clutch to at least look at it. Does it just take a 3/4" bolt or something (after removing the existing center bolt) to get it loose? I already tried screws in the threaded holes in the clutch plate to lift it off, but it didn't budge. Just deformed threads on the screws.
