About a year ago, my AC compressor seized along with the clutch pulley. I just cut the belt and have had no A/C or power steering since. I would like to get both of those systems working again. I also want to retrofit to R134a, so recharging wont be a problem. I know that the system will have to be completely cleaned to ensure that no metal filings can damage the new components. I also, understand the receiver dryer should be replaced. Furthermore, I know that a new expansion valve should be fitted to retrofit my system to R134a. What is the best way to go about this? Can I simply fit newer 240 A/C components onto my 86? Or must I use an old compressor with fitting adapters and use the new expansion valve?
After I do all the replacing of parts, I will take it to a shop to the system flushed, evacuated and have the proper amount refrigerant added.
