Air condition
Does anyone know if there is any difference between air condition lines from Vauxhall Cavalier Mk 3 and Opel Vectra A (one being RHD and other LHD)? I'm interested only in lines, I know there is slight difference in the interior regarding evaporator.
Re: Air condition
I can have a look later when I get home...
But for now, you could look here, and compare part numbers.
Although the website is often biased to Opel (LHD) parts

I think it depends what hoses you are looking for.
Some pipes will be affected by where the foot pedals are fitted - pipes being routed to clear any obstructions and other pipework, cables etc.
If you mean up near the bumper and radiator, then I would not expect too much difference

Re: Air condition
I'm interested only in air con lines under the bonnet so basically lines connecting evaporator, condenser, dryer and compressor (image below).
As far as I am aware there are 3 types of air con systems on Cavalier/Vectra: up to MY 92 is first type, from MY 93-94 second type and from MY 95 further to MY 97(Calibra only as they share same part numbers) third and best type as I am aware as the dryer is screwed on the condenser and does not take up space under the bonnet near battery.

Re: Air condition
Okay - looking at your items above -
(1) - 90 462 125
Both LHD / RHD
Pipe, Liquid refrigerant, compressor
For 1994 and early 1995.
(1) - 90 508 302
Both LHD / RHD
Pipe, Liquid refrigerant, compressor
For later 1995.
(3) 90 462 429 - LHD only (Opel)
Pipe with coupling nut, evaporator.
For 1994 and early 1995.
(3) 90 508 300 - LHD only (Opel)
Pipe with coupling nut, evaporator.
For later 1995.
(4) 90 462 430 - RHD only (Vauxhall)
Pipe with coupling nut, evaporator.
For 1994 and early 1995.
(4) 90 508 301 - RHD only (Vauxhall)
Pipe with coupling nut, evaporator.
For later 1995.
(5) 90 462 121 - Both LHD and RHD.
Manual transmission
Pipe, Liquid refrigerant, Condensor
From 1994 onwards
(6) 90 462 122 - Both LHD and RHD.
Automatic transmission
Pipe, Liquid refrigerant, Condensor
From 1994 onwards
So - to answer your question only part 3 is Opel Only.
Part 4 (not circled in your image) is for Vauxhall only.

Re: Air condition
So if I understood correctly only part 4 is not shared between Opel/Vauxhall and other parts are the same ?
Re: Air condition
Part 3 is Opel Vectra-A only - Left hand drive.
Part 4 is Vauxhall Cavalier only - Right hand drive.
All other parts are the same for Vectra-A and Cavalier.
Parts numbers and descriptions are taken from Vauxhall / Opel / GM's official Electronic Parts Catalogue as used in deslerships in the 1990s and upto 2007 (EPC3).
