1987 300TD HVAC system overhaul thread

[Aquaticedge]

Well, It's decided.. my HVAC system is one of the last things left on my car that doesn't work. I've ordered a compressor, I've also will be ordering a Receiver/Dryer. I've been reading on the forum about the Condenser behind the dash going out... So I have a few Questions about it,

1) Should I go All out and just replace it and only have to yank the dash once or just try to use whats there? Currently the Evaporator holds vacuum but I want to head off any problems,

2) I think the compressor just seized, whats the likelihood that it grenaded out into the system?

3) I'll be using babymog's 124 Dash removal turtorial (thanks for writing it!) located here http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?t=209464

4) How should I Flush the AC system? I do believe that it's prudent to do giving that the compressor could have grenaded into the whole system

I will also be overhauling all my Vac pods in the dash too, I'll rebuild what I can and replace what I cant..

is there anything I missed?

If your interested in the process, I'll be posting pictures as I go, I plan on this taking a month about and hopefully at the end of it I'll have a Working AC and heating system for awhile.
