Well, I need to R&R the AC compressor because the clutch has locked up, and I have no cold air whatsoever coming out of my vents. Being an 86 it has the somewhat more expensive Denso compressor than the earlier A-6, and that made me wonder just how much more work, if any was involved? Also, I have read of different filters and/or switches that need to be added if one is to replace the AC compressor, in addition to the standard replacement of the Accumulator and the orifice tube. One shop that gave me an astronomical quote said they refused to tackle the job without being authorized to replace the compressor, accumulator, orifice tube, both AC lines, evaporator core, and the condenser. It should be noted, however, that this shop had never even seen the car. They just stated that over the phone. When I asked why I should replace all of these parts, even if there is nothing wrong with them, they just said that it is their policy to do so.

I have heard of major problems with the aux. fan, so what should I expect out of it. I do know that I have never seen it work.

Thanks, Dave.
