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! |

I have no idea what happened to the AC before it was removed. I think he said it was leaking freon. I know the lines going into the firewall are capped. Ill get the rest of the parts out and start checking them out.
Or would it be worth it to just let an AC shop check them out? |

QUOTE (Steve91T @ Aug 1 2017, 02:11 PM)  Or would it be worth it to just let an AC shop check them out? Doubt it unless you can find a good ol' boy AC shop. Shops around here won't touch used parts unless they're already installed in the vehicle. Kevin's advice is spot on in my experience. You can usually rent vacuum pumps and manifolds at chain parts stores. If it's a beater, I don't even worry about the vacuum. |
