A/C Compressor Swap

[LookAtThatSHO]

My 95's A/C compressor is shot, but I have a semi-wrecked 94 that I'm thinking of pulling a compressor from. My question is, on a 1-10 level 10 being the most difficult, how difficult would it be to do the swap?

A 3-4.

It is rather simple. Evacuate the system. Pull the radiator fans, then the radiator. Remove the belt, unbolt the lines from the compressor, unbolt the compressor. Remove the compressor. Your done.

FWIW, I have changed my AC compressor twice without removing the radiator. The rans must come out, but not the rad...

I replaced my compressor without having to remove the radiator. I just had to take off the fan, remove the overflow tank, the belt, the battery and tray, and the alternator I think and took it straight out the top. Start to finish, it took me all of 2 or 3 hours or so.
