i got a blown a/c compressor on my 93 taurus, 3.0.... anyone ever change out the compressor?? the haynes book says you have to remove the p/s pump to get it out.. the helm shop manual did not say anything about removing the compressor(or i missed it when reading the book).. they did have the compressor in a seperate section showing you how to bench check the compressor but thats about all.... any help from someone who did it would be appreciated.. also its R-12 and when i have it apart i was thinking of changing over to R-143A, do i get a new R-134 compressor and the accumulator for R-134?? will they fit the connections on the tubing?? and how do i get rid of the old oil out of the system when apart? like the evaporator and the condensor???? what type of flush to use???? the kits for retrofitting the systems from R-12 to R134 dont have too much in them and on one web site from a manufacturer of one retrofit kit it seems that they dont even have any thing to change the oil and make no mention of the oil in the kit.... the instruction kit that you can download from their site does not go into that... cant be a very good retrofit kit??? thanks for any suggestions.....
