Are these ac parts worth using?

[JNporsche911]

After restoring my dad’s old 911 I never reinstalled the AC. I’m not sure the condition of the compressor and the condenser has seen better days.

- Is it worth trying to reuse the compressor without knowing its condition?
-Is the condenser too beat up to reuse?

Last two pics are showing the heater blower, they are not AC parts.
Condenser and compressor are probably shot. Keep the compressor mounting hardware, it is part of the car.

Original Porsche ac parts weren't very good when they were new, don't waste your time with them. Find a complete kit with up to date parts from a well known supplier.
You can look through my old post from 10 years ago when I installed mine, its still going strong.

If they were my parts, they would be on top of my garbage can for the scrappers.

Yeah, the blower look like an engine compartment auxiliary blowers for the heat exchangers. Good for cooler climates - not so much in FL.

Condenser is too beat up to trust the fins can be straightened up somewhat to do its job. Still would need pressure testing, aluminum corrosion and pin holes. Compressor might turn freely but if oil was drained, the seals could be compromised, also would need to be tested at an AC shop, could be a waste of money.

Worth saving - never a bad idea, save for the next guy to throw out - or for authenticity rebuild, some parts have a bit of value in that respect.

Worth using again - no. Big expense for a mediocre original system. Theres also the other missing components that go along with those used parts you don’t mention, either missing or in an equally bad state of nonuse.
