I just acquired an A/C compressor and hoses to fit into my engine bay. I believe I have all the parts I need (what's in my engine bay already is only half, so I picked up the other half off a junked s4). I'm just wondering if there's some kind of diagram out there that explains this install just so I know I've got everything I need.

If only there was a manual from the factory for servicing this stuff.....

make sure you get the correct compressor oil to put in the compressor and the correct amount of it, (the r134a oil IS NOT compatible with r-12) then have the shop do a LONG vacuum on it, like 1 hour or so. then have em charge it up. and you are in business. I recommend changing the accumulator/drier as well before they vacuum/chagre it.

yeah, this thing was well-kept in storage but it hasn't been used in about 3 years so it'll need a full cleaning test before i put it in. i'm currently looking for a garage to hold my s4 for the winter so i can take care of all this stuff. i probably won't get to working on the a/c unit for another month or so. i'm hoping to do all the work on it myself, but i will definitely keep the suggestions in mind! thanks.
