Mazda P/U A/C Swap

I'm considering swapping the A/C out of a junk Mazda B2000 into my '89 B2200. I didn't think look at date of manufacture on the yard truck but they look identical. The 2.0l engine LOOKS the same as my 2.2l as far as compressor mount and clearance for condenser, drier and lines. Under the dash in the my truck it looks like there is a place for the evaporater. I also checked to make sure the compressor turns smooth. I have a friend that does A/C work locally, he thinks it should not be a problem. I plan to convert it to R134 and put all new seals in.
The guy that owns the yard is a friend of mine. He said he would bring the donner truck up and put it in my driveway so I can make the swap.
Sounds easy enough.. What have I missed thats going to BITE me.
Thanks in advance for any insight.

A/C vs NO A/C changes so many specs in most vehicles it's not worth it. Helps when you have the whole donor vehicle but at the age what indication do you have that the parts in the donor are any good?
