I am finishing up on another car project and want to move on and remove the compressor and ac components. It has been broken for years and belt disconnected. Is it ok to remove these and gradually reinstall while the truck being useable. I would think so.
Details
No R-134a since all leaked out. Compressor clutch burned up and so did compressor.
Plan is to ( read manual, you tube, tech manual) gradually take apart, cap off open lines, reinstall, add oil, pull vacumn and put in R-134a. Never did before so will take time and want to make sure can drive it while gradually working on it.
Aware of the dangers of R-134a ( SDS sheet) and have filled before .
Also know of a good vacumn pump and gauge set for a consumer that is safe, descent quality, and a reasonable price? Don't want the lines popping or vacumn pump erupting. Thanks
