Chevy / Olds A/C ?

I have a chevy motor in my cutlass and my question is if I get an A/C compressor for my motor will I be able to run it with the cutlass parts (condenser& drier) or will i have to change everything out? I'm thinking all I have to do is get longer hoses to hook up but I dont know! Help me out!

The Olds parts will reject the Chevy organ transplant...

Seriously, for a given year, the Olds and Chevy A/C parts should be the same.

What I meant was that all 84 G-body cars would have used the same evaporator, condenser, etc. The compressor should have been the R4 compressor in either case, though one probably has the V belt and one probably has the flat multi-rib belt, but functionally they are the same. Hoses and wiring, of course, must fit the location of the compressor.
