Job # 83-526 on the service manual. Send me your email address and I can email you direct the PDF file for it. Too big for this sites PM or email (2mb). You'll need to borrow Autozone clutch tools. Also, a 2 jaw puller and snap ring pliers.
Edit: See if this works:http://mb.braingears.com/126_DISC1/program/Climate/83-526.pdf

I'm not 100% sure on this next part. Remember that
![]() I think there may be a pulley alignment (with the crank pulley) problem if you use the "lightweight" R4. There are two main divisions of R4's, lightweight and standard, and the pulley doesn't stick out far enough on some R4 clutch/pulley assy's? There are short and long shaft models that correspond to these. I know the lightweight pulley/clutch was a problem for me, so I just used the original standard pulley/clutch on the new GM compressor (whatever it was; light or standard). I'd have to see 'em to know for sure. Do some dry fitting first. One yoke didn't go with the other pulley/clutch, or some such. It's been a while since I did mine and I had all the pieces from two compressors available in my hands. ![]()
