Thanks, good counsell about the seams, seals, and twisting. I got a rebuilt at Advance Auto. Will be careful about the bolt torque.
It occured to me, I think I've got a Haynes, or Chilton manual.
The old wreck is coming up on 200k miles. I'm not going to do the filter, orifice, etc. Just drop the pump in, add a can of PAG oil charge, some refrigerant, and hope for the best.

That's about it. When you put the replacement HT-6 on make sure that all
4 mounting bosses are in good contact before you tighten the bolts. The design of the compressor is such that if the case gets twisted or is put under torsion while on the mount they like to leak at the pump body seam. If you're planning on a salvage compressor take a REALLY close look at the body seams, The center section is a press fit to the end caps with O rings for seals. If you find any oil/green ooze/or dampness around it, look at another one.
