Plutoe, his model is 210.065. The necessary Denso A/C compressor (000-230-70-11) from a 2001 E320 does fit the 210.065 (1997 E320), and vice-versa.

According to the website above (pelican parts) the part numbers are the same exact ones for '97 and '01 E320. So I will assume it will fit. I just have '97 E320 laying for parts, so I guess I'll try to replace it this weekend.

Please understand the '97 used a Denso 7SB16C - which internally was later replaced by Denso 7SBU16C - frankly the '97 unit is not as reliable long term.
There are a whole lot of reman's out there - and in addition to the wide range in quality between 100's of remn suppliers almost ALL don't identify if you will get 7SB16C or the later 7SBU16C - and actually few even state if you will get a rebuilt Denso at all as compared to rebuilt "equivalents" from India for example.
If you need a OE reliable "new" compressor Sanden-Behr from China was Denso's licensed manufacturer for the China market, now on their own, and a Sanden-Behr new 7SBU16C can be sourced for like $250 - with several internet sources using this China Behr as their private label for $375+ by slapping their labels on it.
Try acpartswarehouse.com - but on this particular part call those guys to see if they have one before ordering - since they get a large # of wholesale orders from other internet retailers for private label so they get zero'd out at times.
Be careful since there is a India made 7SBU16C which is not good which internet retailers sell at about the same price/little more than the Sanden-Behr
