[V6-12v] 1994 90S A/C Compressor R&R experience

[Clive Young]

Hi Guys 

A little addition to al's email.

The venture for the AC ( the little plastic screen ) is in the smaller of
the two lines going into the firewall. A few clamps have to be removed from
this line to get it out. A bit of a pain. 
	After taking the oil filter off. You can unscrew the threaded pipe
it screws on to and that should allow you to move the oil cooler without
draining it. This is also a good time to replace the oil cooler seal. 

Good luck !!

Folks,

My A/C compressor has seized. I do intend to replace it... I have a rough 
idea of which parts need to be changed (drier/receiver, some little screen 
that I forget the name of, the compressor, some o-rings).

The question is: How much work is involved with changing the compressor?

I've been looking at it from the top... Looks like it's more or less 
impossible to get at the parts from the top. A bottom up job... Looks like 
the oil filter may be in the way. Will this compressor job require that the 
oil filter be removed or that the oil cooler be removed? What are the 
common snags of the procedure?

Tom
