Just figured out tonight that the front condenser motor, inside trunk isn't working. Or at least not coming on while in my garage.
All installed by PO, not sure if he installed barrier hoses when converting from freon.
New compressor?

NO clue on the compressor!
I am going to tell you straight up if you want to have colder A/C IN YOUR 911, you need to remove your old Porsche OEM Behr obsolete front and rear condensers and replace them with the newest technology condensers you can afford the more state of the art the better!!!
Porsche made a major well known A/C design flaw in the body of the early model 911’s of not having enough A/C condenser SURFACE AREA room available in the original front and rear condenser placement area’s to allow the A/C to properly work until I came along and overcame the flaw using state of the art condenser heat exchanger technologies using my custom designed and engineered for early model 911’s PFC’s.
Here is some helpful advice
For your “front fan in the trunk not working”, the first thing you need to do is to find out and verify if FAN MOTOR is getting 12 volts electricity to the fan electric motor leads and the other fan electric motor lead you need to verify it IS grounded, if this true the fan motor should work if it is not damaged/burned out.
Key switch on, A/C switch ON unless you want to start the engine which you do not have too. Also without the engine running with these switches both on you can sometimes hear a very slow turning motor maybe.
Note there is an electric A/C relay switch usually inside of “the smugglers box; WHICH IS further/deeper inside your front hood area under a hinged plate with 2 movable tabs that when slid lets you open the smugglers box in the area around the sides of your black plastic evaporator box.
Note also on top of the black plastic evaporator box the evaporator fan motor that is probably also fead electricity from the same relay as your front condenser squirrel-cage fan motor, you might have only a bad relay or loose wire?
If you determine you need to replace your front condenser squirrel-cage fan motor or your evaporator blower motor in the future if damaged, I recommend if you’re going to use Porsche OEM parts to replace either of these 2 motors because they have failed to order the Porsche 1989 model year motors because they have higher RPM fan shaft speed then prior years motor models!!!!
You can also just connect 2 wires to the battery and connect them carefully on the wire ends using alligator clips directly to the motors 2 wires and this way bypass the relay, going from positive and negative battery terminals to the positive and negative motor terminals; this will tell you right away if you have a bad electric blower motor
Note your front condenser fan is very important, mostly for A/C cooling during stop and go traffic/driving or extended idling.
Note your evaporator fan puts out the coldest A/C air temps into your cabin when the fan speed is set on lowest speed; NOT HIGH SPEED!!!!
I am not going to say much about your OEM condensers except the 2 rear deck lid condenser fans and relays are useless
I seal my PFC’s to the rear deck lid and use the engine fan because it is far more then needed
