	last condensor I bought was about $225US.  Aftermarket.
	Dryers are between $15 and $35.  I don't remember, but I would
	guess I paid $25 or $30.

	No, except you need three things:

	-vacuum pump to evac the system prior to charging it
	-a manifold gauge set to properly charge it
	-a source of either R-12 or R-134a, depending upon which
	your system takes.

	Primary hazard is of burns from leaking freon (shouldn't
	happen, but does.)


	Ask if you have more questions.
