Group:
I have a 2000 grand caravan which had the A/C compressor lock up and shred the serpentine belt (Stank too!). So, I got a pulled unit out of the boneyard to have a free pulley to put with the new belt. Looking down the line, I really would like to have the A/C for summer. Local mechanic says I'm looking at a complete system replacement at about $2K. Anyone have experience doing an /c restoration after compressor lockup? The body & drivetrain are in great shape.
