The PO removed the AC from the firewall forward when it started leaking. I have a box full of the old parts but I'm not sure if I want to use them. Maybe the compressor is ok?

What do you think the best way to do this would be? I'm hoping to not spend a fortune.

This is for the 172k mile 2000 1SC.

Thanks!

Does the compressor turn smoothly?

What Kevin said. Make _certain_ you have the right amount of oil for the entire system (the FSM lists what part requires how much oil), or as Kevin says, the compressor will burn up quickly.

What started leaking? Something leaking freon? Condensate leaking into the floorboard?
