I have heard the hp robbing argument before, but myself I would stick with a york. Aside from that, do they cool any different? I know my 76 240D way back when it ran the ac would get sold cold it would start blowing snow out of it if you were not careful.

I was wondering that myself. Rusty has them for ~$200 IIRC. I'm thinking of 
putting one on my '78 240D this spring.

why not just replace it with the proper York compressor?  They
should be easy to find new/rebuilt/

    My guess is that the body is solid, if the car has always
lived in the desert.  Check for rust/bondo iin the rockers,
behind the front wheel, in front of the rear wheel and in the
trunk wells.  It looks like Midnight blue.  I don't remember
ever seeing that before a 123. If I lived in Phx, I'd pay $2000
for it if it is as good as it appears it might be.  140k is not
that much on a OM615  I think with a litte ingenuity you can rig
a rotary compressor from a honda/toada to fit on the compressor
mounting and even use the original belt size.  A compressor from
a u-pull should not be that expensive.  Be sure to get the
manifold and a good chunk of each hose with it.
