I replaced the compressor w/ one from a junk yard in Aug 2007. In 2010, system lost pressure and added Quest Super Seal and recharged system to 33 psi at 76 deg. F. ambient temp. Did this again several times 'till Fall of 2014 when compressor failed again. I am replacing compressor w/ rebuilt. I am also replacing the condenser, dryer, orifice tube, radiator and hoses. I have several questions. 1. Can I remove the radiator, condenser and fan together ? How do I disconnect the dryer for removal? Where is the orifice tube located? I never really determined where the leak was. When We bought the car in2004, the plastic shield that covered the bottom of the condenser was not on the car...so maybe the condenser had a small leak or should I bite the bullet and replace the evaporator coil? Or replace everything else and see what happens? I would also appreciate any shortcuts or guidance to make this undertaking more fun and less painful. This is my wife's car and she loves it. We started with 2 1974 174 Es, an 84 240 wagon, a 90 240 wagon, a 95 960, 2 98 s 70s and loved every one. Thank you for your help in advance!
