I'm about the repair some broken retaining clips on a 1996 850 I just purchased, and I want to get the AC running also. I've read the posts about evaporator and accumulator repair, so this seems like a good time to do it. The guy I bought it from says he replaced the compressor about 2 years ago, but currently the AC does not blow cold and the system will not take coolant.

I know the smart thing is to go ahead and replace the parts while I have the dash out, but I'd prefer not to spend the money if I don't need to. How can I test the accumulator and evaporator to see if they are really bad?
