![]() My a/c compressor locked up yesterday. I have to get a new one but I was wondering if I should also get a new accumulator. I didn't really want to get the accumulator because I don't have the tools to disconnect the lines to it.
Also, are remanufactured compressors from the local parts store o.k., or should I get one from Ford? I'm leaving in 2 or 3 days on vacation so I could use some quick answers here. Thanks ------------------ 94 GT 1 5/8" equal shorties, 2 1/2" exhaust w/off road h-pipe and dynomax mufflers,pulleys,K&N W/home made cold air induction,MSD ignition,Pro 5.0 shifter,MAC upper&lower rear control arms,MAC 1 1/2"prog. rate springs, 3:73's |

![]() I wouldn't worry about the accumulator but I would make sure and put a vaccume on the system after you get the compressor on to remove any moisture from the system. Not sure what to tell you on the "new" ver "re-built" issue, guess you need to weigh the price differance and go from there. I would much rather have a new one but don't know what cost differance we are talking about... Good luck!!

![]() Eh, who needs A/C? It's just added weight.
