86 5ks

     I'm a newbie to the Quattro List, and I've learned a lot by browsing 
     the archives.  I've done quite a bit of work on my 86 5ks in the 2 
     years I've owned it, and I think it's worth every penny.  These really 
     are wonderful cars.  Unfortunately, I now need to do major work on the 
     A/C (compressor and all), and my wife will want to *kill* me if I give 
     my local mechanic the $1K or so it will take to get it all done.
     
     I found a place where I can get a rebuilt compressor (Nippendenso, w/o 
     clutch) for just $279.  That seems like a good price, so I'm thinking 
     of doing the job myself.  Any wisdom from the Q-listers?
     
     Also - I'm looking for a copy of the Bentley Manuals for this car.  
     Anyone out there have a set that gathering dust?  Please e-mail me, 
     and we can make a deal!
     
     Thanks!
