Need new A/C Compressor and weatherstrip kit

[A1Avette79]

Hello everybody,
After struggling with my a/c system my compressor finally died. Looking at the car's paperwork it appears as though a rebuilt compressor was installed a couple years ago. My car has an original freon system. I live in South Florida - of course my a/c dies during the hottest summer on record! I am looking for a source for a new (not rebuilt) compressor. I also need to know the part number - the Assembly Manual just says "compressor".

I am also looking for a weatherstrip kit witht the original latex type weatherstrip. I installed an aftermarket kit and it doesn't seem to be sealing very well in certain areas.
Thanksad

Not much help with the AC, but the weatherstrip is not bad. I got a kit from "The Last Detail" (Atlanta Corvette) for my 69. Great fit, soft, and looks like the original stuff.

The stock compressor is the R4. GM made a zillion of them. You can get them new or rebuilt over the counter at any of the generic auto parts places.
