My 85 has factory AC, all the parts are still there but the pump and idler bearings are seized. I want to rebuild the AC system and wanted to see if there are any kits out there. I know I'll need all new components, pump, condenser, dryer and lines since the compressor is frozen/seized. The existing lines are rubber to steel sealed with a hose clamp. I'd like to go with all new aluminum lines w/orings.

Thanks!

You will need to upgrade to R134. So your going to need to flush the system before you put on the new pump. You will also need to replace the receiver dryer and put in the proper amount of new oil.

Thanks for the reply. I'm wondering if any/all of the 87 Mighty Max condenser, etc components will fit. There seems to be more availability for those years.
