That is the reason why.

I believe that I will have problems getting it to work. But not to many,
as the only difference (that I knew of) is th engine. I have
carburetor, the other car had fuel injection.

You probably right, I expect to bump into more problems as I start to
work, but I think I have time to spare, and I hope I can finish this
(if I do not finish it will not be the first time :-(

I have Haynes, Bentley and some German manual. And some nice person at
alt.autos.bmw group offered to mail me relevant (A/C) part of factory
repair manual. So I think I have a lot of information.

I already have the idea, the reason I am asking is that someone has
better one. Also I want to knew how this was done before FI (where I am
I can not find that since I do not knew anyone with A/C and carb
engine).

It's '87 BMW E30 316 M10 1.6 liter engine with Pierburg 1B2 carburetor.
Manual transmission (why is transmission type important?) I do not have
any optional equipment.
A/C is manual - no digital temp display, just a on/off switch and
temperature knob.

Thank you. I will. I will start to work on it in September.
