I need to know what parts I should probably order when I overhaul my 134a A/C system. I found metal bits in the orifice tube so I know I have to open the system to flush out all of the refrigerant lines. The system never had a fast leak, so I think the loss of 134a was at the compressor that presumably failed. So I plan to replace the compressor and I need to know what else I should order. Off the top of my head:
compressor
orifice tube
dryer
flush tool and cleaning solvent
compressor oil
134a
seals? which ones?
This engine is a 454 from a 1988 Suburban, and I suspect the whole AC system is too. The compressor is the shorter, more compact style that uses a serpentine belt. I have a vacuum pump and manifold gauges.
Thanks!
