Hello all,
I just joined a couple days ago and appreciate all the notes. I have a 1987 corvette coupe.
The AC doesn't work and I already attempted to recharge it and the compressor does not kick in. At this point I am assuming it is the old compressor.
I've seen a decent deal for about $150. for a new one and I'm pretty handy. So my thoughts are I get the current system emptied out, remove the compressor, install new one. Or so it seems.
I'm confused on what the "high" side is used for since it has a valve but we are always told to NOT mess with it.
Can anyone offer pointers on properly replacing the compressor?
Thanks,
Eric
