What is needed to replace the A/C?

[speed95]

Im about to replace the compressor in my 95 MTX and was wondering what else should I replace while im at it? Can I get a list of parts that you can think of? Also if anybody knows where I can get all the parts for a great price please speak up!


Thanks for the help!

accumulator and orrifice tube would be good places to start

www.rockauto.com and www.ebay.com have good prices, just make sure what you are getting is really for your car... by either picture or something....

oil, freon... all that type of stuff can be had at the local parts store


be careful and make sure you get whats needed, even on the rockauto website, their online parts catalouge has other stuff in it sometimes, for instance, if you look at their compressors, it might list 15 different ones, but in reality 12 of those are for the regular taurus or what not....

we use the NipponDenso 10P15F compressor, its an ugly sucker...

Might just be clutch shim and engaging problem

Thanks but I have to replace the compressor since the previous owner bought a bigger battery and it ended up getting acid everywhere.


I know I need the 2 hoses, compressor, and o rings. What about a new condenser?
