Re: AC repair questions
I did the entire system on my 06 GTO a while back. Actually not too difficult.
As for compressors I would recommend an actual AC Delco compressor and not going the cheaper route. Its a project I think most people can handle but not something you'd want to do a second time because a reman compressor is having issues.
IF it is the compressor that would need to be replaced, typically you would also replace the dryer and evap core as well as having the condensor flushed-you don't want the new compressor sucking junk into it. You then have to add a specific amount of oil to the dryer/compressor then charge the entire system, check for leaks, temp test, etc.
I did it without ever messing with a car AC system and everything turned out great. My only setback was using an AC O-ring kit from auto zone which were cheap and one was leaking. Replaced with a higher quality o-ring and everything was great.
