Awesome instructions. I have a kid coming soon so I will absolutely use this as reference to try and revive my 86's AC system.

How do you know if you need to flush the lines to the evaporator and condenser prior to replacing the compressor? I assume you need to back flush the system? Thanks

I'm new to this too, but from what I gather, you want to considering flushing the system if your compressor had failed (sending metal debris through the system), or if you are unsure of what type of oil/how much is in the system. In those cases you want to flush and start clean.

I have heard you can backflush the evaporator through the dryer line by the driver headlight, but I have also heard you can't do that with systems that have expansion valves (which ours does) - so I would like confirmation on that..
