Going to put A/C back in the car. The system would leak freon before I did the motor swap, but I need to put A/C back together. Without testing parts what would would you just buy new to rebuild your system?

at the very least the dryer and expansion valve and what ever was leaking. i would change the condensor too but thats just me i have ocd and tend to over do it my compressor went about a year ago so i changed everything but the evap core i did clean it real good tho

Never had it tested, but I suspected that the compressor was leaking before I pulled everything off. I guess I could put it all back together and see where it leaks.

well if you do change the compresser it may look like it will go out the bottom but i couldnt do it save some time pull the fans out and bring it up thru the top

I am putting together my AC system again.
I was able to pull the compressor out from the bottom.
My compressor is leaking from the joints in the body sections. Before buying a new one I am re-sealing it with a kit that contains the o-rings and shaft seal.

Thanks for the help. I will probably put it back together and check the system for leaks.

Finished the reseal process of my compressor, installed it, pulled vacuum and charged it.
All is good now. Cold air in my face again!

Very satisfied with results.
The reseal kit was worth about $22 from centuryautoair in Tucson.
They have a video up in youtube that walks you thru the reseal process of a similar compressor.
