I don't know the official answer but I also suspect there is not much difference and wouldn't exepct any problems. The only thing I can think is extra weight of aircon compressor is taken into account with the a/c mount, it's not as if it is a different shape for clearance - it's not even close.
When you buy poly upgrade bushes; you don't get a/c options
And, at the end of the day - if you cannot get the one you want any more, you HAVE to try an alternative and that is bound to be better than one that has failed!

Another engine mount question
I've been having an absolute bitch of a time tracking down the left side engine mount for my RS2. Part number 8A0199382. Only Tradition has them in stock, and we all know that their website is ******ed. I found one in Italy, and the bloody thing got lost in transit—maddening!
What I have been able to find is the Febi Bilstein part, 07177. This is apparently equivalent to the engine mount for an RS2 without air conditioning. 8A0199382C.
My question is this: does airconditioning really make a difference? Is the mount for "without air conditioning" truly any different to the one for with air conditioning? I have this suspicion that they're probably exactly the same, especially when coming from an OEM supplier like Febi or Lemforder.
If I mix a right side "for air conditioning" mount with a left side "without air conditioning" will I have any issues?
