Yes, they are interchangable. I have been swapping the AC fans into the front heater for many years with no issues. Most of the AC systems I have taken apart were barely used and the fan motors were in excellent condition. Plus the AC units in 7 pass. vans have two fan motors. dylan ________________________________ From: mark drillock <mdrillock@COX.NET> To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Sent: Saturday, February 28, 2009 8:45:00 AM Subject: Re: Front/rear blower motor swap from AC unit? I have noticed this myself. Recently I was helping a relative to replace his dash heater fan and we side by side compared it to one of those A/C fans. As far as we could tell they were the same other than the trivial wiring connections. We tried both, running them on all 3 speeds and could not tell any difference. The A/C fans live in a much more protected place and I suspect lots of us will end up using them in our dash heaters down the road. A web search showed an aftermarket fan replacement to fit both applications with the same replacement part.
