HVAC control swap

Anyone know anything about the HVAC control?

I don't care for the one that I have on my 93 at all. there are only 6 buttons in a line, and I don't have the option to defrost and run any vents at the same time. I was wondering if the newer controls use the same wires and vacuum hoses in the back, so I can just hook up a newer unit. I'm counting on having to swap out the harnesses for both, but idk - I haven't looked up closely at the back of one of the newer models, yet.

Another reason that I want to do this, is because I want to put one of these (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/White-Face-AC-HVAC-Panel-1993-1997-Ford-THUNDERBIRD-615_W0QQitemZ8018457162QQcategoryZ43952QQrdZ1QQcmd ZViewItem#ebayphotohosting) in to match my reverse glow gauges. yeah, it's pretty much superficial, but like I said, I want to be able to defrost and run the vents at the same time.

Thanks in advance!

I guess one day I'll just go to a junkyard and try to compare the two...
