A/C installation advice
After a year of telling myself I could do without it, I've decided to repair the air conditioning on my 77 450SL. The problem has been professionally diagnosed as an internal leak in the compressor - apparently the PO replaced in with a rebuilt one simply hasn't held up.
Anyway, after my shop quoted me $1100 I decided that there's no good reason not to do the job myself. The manual states that you need to remove the radiator, etc to get at the compressor. I have access to a lift, and being lazy, I'd rather avoid pulling the radiator if I can. Has anyone done this job from underneath, and is it easy enough to be worth doing that way? Any pitfalls to watch for? Thanks in advance.

I can't reply to your question, having never r&r'd the compressor on a 107, but wanted to chime in and advise you against converting to R134a in case you were thinking about it. There are far better options, not least of which is paying the price for R12. I'll give more detail if you care to hear it...
