I just bought a project C230 Kompressor coupe. It has one glaring defect: The AC compressor is shot. The system won't even hold a vacuum. Here's a video of it running:

I'm going to replace the Compressor, Expansion Valve and Drier, but should I replace the Condenser too? I've read that they can't be flushed properly.
I'm also going to check the alternator pulley while it is apart. I've read that a bad clutch on that can cause the compressor to fail.
Thanks,
Tad
