I rebuilt a 90 SHO 4 years ago ... all new ac lines, condensor, accumlator and the only thing used was a compressor and clutch
About a 1 year ago my wife asked me to give this car to my nephew and he has had the car since.
His a/c stopped working and a tech he trusts said that the clutch or compressor froze up and he needs a new compressor and clutch, a new accumlator and a new liquid line. Also there was a flat spot on the a/c serpintine belt and that needs to be replaced
Why would he need a new liquid line and which one is it ? what is it ?? Wild guess on my part is the line with the crazy 90 bend coming out of the firewall near the exhaust manifold and wraps around the passenger fender wall to the front ???
If the clutch froze up do auto parts stores sell a compressor that the ac lines will bolt to and fit in a 90 SHO?
Ive been away from the SHO for sometime so my memory is rusty
Im thinking get a new compressor and clutch. A new accumlator( or do i even need todo that ... maybe do the compressor and clutch and see what happens ? .... also if the lines are still sealed why do i need a accumlator?)
So i replace these parts .... flush the system and vacumn out the system and recharge i should be good to go... right ?
Any suggestions or advice regarding .... compressor clutch combo being new or used .... getting a new accumlator or not and a fricken liquid line ?
thanks !
