Between £115 and £150 for a new condensor) rad.
the earlier and later classics are not interchangeable , subaru kept changing pipework and port sizes!

what year car is it for as there is a difference in the type of aircon charge, pre 94 all cars were fitted with R12 which is now illegal they now use 134a or 125 the two are not interchangable different seals ect

93 was the changeover, so most scoobs are later R134a.
but if it is earlier R12 (cfc) type , you can get a direct replacement gas which is not illegal (hcfc).
it is not just seals that are not compatible, R134a has a smaller molecular structure so can work through hoses .
easy to tell which it was originally ,
R134a srevice ports are internally threaded , R12 are external.
