     Hi John,

     Full list on the Evaporator Core Part# 443 271 105 C is U$655.00.

     There seem to have been more than one compressor listed from
     1992-1994. I seem to recall you having a 1990, if so, the
     compressor is Part # 077 260 808 and lists for U$912.00

     Then entire compressor assembly, with new Clutch & Pulley is
     Part# 077 260 803 C, U$1440.00 LIST.

     The Clutch and Pulley separately are Part # 077 260 811 and
     Lists for U$368.00.

     Seems you save U$160 by adding the clutch and pully yourself.

     I could try and dig up better prices on this stuff, if the above
     doesn't scare you off. If you need someone on this end, I'd be
     happy to ship the parts you need, and invoice them "accordingly"
     (nudge nudge, wink wink).

     Get in touch with me private email

     Just remember that Hemingway quote about Pheasant hunting when
     they querry your sanity. It was used to describe the Lamborgini
     but applies to the V8 too.

     BCNU,
