question about center console/arm rest

Is there a difference in the center consoles between the 4runners with rear heat options and non rear heat? My 4runner has rear heat and has a tiny pocket for storage. Does the non rear heater center console have a deeper pocket for storage? I would like some more storage area.

My 87 4Runner does not have rear heat and has 2 different storage compartments. One very deep and then another smaller one on top of it under armrest. Hard to explain lol

Here is the one I have (pic from Google) there a compartment right under the arm pad, and a deeper storage under that. 2 different parts fold back

The heater option console attaches to the heater and the heater to the floor bracket. The non heater option attaches to a different floor bracket. You would also need to weld a new bracket or mod some attachment point.
The front off the consoles use the same bracket.

Then there's the other issue

The space you want to use is currently occupied by a blower motor and heater core. If you want to swap consoles, you will have to either relocate the heater assembly to a different location, or remove it all together.

Sorry I forgot to mention that my 4runner is a 2nd gen, and I don't mind removing the rear heat completely. I live in south Texas so rear heat isn't needed down here. I was thinking if removing console and necessary brackets off of a donar vehicle if it is deeper.
