It all depends on your pocketbook :)  I opted for the JH, or
rather JN, because it allowed me to use my original AC.  I
am certain that this is a valid decision point, but either way
I was able to locate a code JN for about $500 used and
complete.  This came from an 89 Fox, and is very similar to
the JH, except this one has hydraulic lifters.
