Probably, but look them both up on Rock Auto or some other place to see if they're the same.

Yes

99-04 should all be interchangeable

96-98 is hit or miss, best to stick to the 99+

94 is a no-go, completely different animal...

The only difference you may find is the placement of the high pressure switch on the back of the compressor, at least going by photos on Rock Auto. My 04 has the switch on the back of the compressor, the photos online show it capped off. But all that holds in either the cap or the pressure switch is a C-clip, so it's a quick and simple swap to accommodate either.

I think it's capped off in the pictures just because the new compressor doesn't include the switch. I bought a new AC-Delco compressor for my 2000 and that port was plugged. I had to transfer my switch over.

If the part number is the same, you are good to go.

A plus is RA will often share the other vehicles a part fits.

That is true. The first compressor I put on my Blazer when I bought it was a brand new unit, and I honestly don't remember if it had the switch in it already or not...

The most recent one I installed was a like-new replacement unit from a junk yard, so no modification was needed, direct bolt on plug and play, relatively speaking...

I did, I do all my own AC work, BUT, to do it properly requires the right tools and equipment, and the knowledge on how to use them. It's one thing to top off the r134a with a cheap can with the hose attached to it you can get at any parts store. It's quite another when you open a system up and replace parts in it. You have to recover the r134a that's still in the system with the proper equipment. flush any components that are being reused, make sure the right amount of oil is installed into the system on reassembly, put a vacuum on the system with a vacuum pump, uses manifold gauges to fill the system to the proper pressure levels, and all of that is on top of the labor of replacing whatever parts and seals that are being replaced...

If you've never messed with AC systems before, I would highly suggest having a shop do it, or ask around for a reputable mechanic that has the equipment to do it on his own at home. Shops are going to be the most expensive route, some mechanics that do side work at home will charge a lot less. You'll have to shop around in your area.
