looking to have AC fixed; rock auto, eeuroparts 200 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be b on  Thu Jul 21 23:53 CST 2016 [RELATED]

hello,

I'm looking into having my AC fixed and I'm not too familiar with AC.
Brought it to one volvo place and they said the compressor was bad and needed replacing.
I was thinking of getting the rock auto compressor kit from Rock auto for a 1993 volvo 240. I'm thinking about getting the lower priced Sanden kit (with a receiver/dryer accumulator and orifice tube)-

instead of the Four Seasons-

Has anyone had problems with any of the Rock auto volvo 240 AC compressors?
I didn't know if the compressor was a parallel type condensor, but I thought it would just be safer to get a new one. Only reasonbly priced one was at eeuroparts and looks to be from Taiwan-

I was going to try and find a mechanic to put it all in.
Do you know if there could be any issues with non-fitting on my 1993 volvo 240?
Are there any other parts such as AC compressor gaskets/sealing washers?
Do you recommend a AC system flush when putting in a new compressor and condensor?

Thanks,
brian
