You can continue to use your car after removing the compressor by running a shorter serpentine belt; Goodyear part # 6PK2310 is the right length for the 190e 2.6. Just be sure to seal-up the A/C fittings to prevent crap from getting in there.

Maybe a slight highjack here, but a good thread about denso compressors, particularly DIY rebuild.
I have a 92 300TE and I am very mechanically inclined. I've never rebuilt an A/C compressor before.
Symptom is A/C oil leaking from A/C compressor housing.. Original R12 car and all the A/C system with 106,000 miles. I figure the gaskets need replacing since it is a leak and the system is working fine. Although, I quit using the A/C in Texas 90*F+ heat to make sure I don't burn up this thing if it runs out of oil.
What specialty A/C tool are needed specific to rebuilding the A/C compressor housing case gaskets? (I know all the ones for A/C service in general)
What are the compressor housing case reassembly torque specs? I figure this is a sensitive torque setting since it is an aluminum housing.
Can you point me in the right direction for the proper amount of oil to be used in each component of the system... I will flush everything and convert to 134a with a parrallel flow condensor... I hope my 92 300TE does not have the faulty evap... I will research aircondition.com ASAP.
One last question, since the 93, 94, and 95 cars are 134a in USA, are those parallel flow condensors? If so, is it an easy upgrade with an OEM part braket matches, or should I go for an aftermarket parallel flow condensor and mess with the braket mounting configuration?
bolded questions most important to me.
Thanks,
Brian
