   You can say that again. teh compressor alone runs betwerrn $200 and   
   $600   
      
   On an older vehicle one should also replace several other parts, like   
   the Reciever and the Orface tube.   
   Also it is nor a home project unless you have a good Vacuum pump to   
   evasuate the system to get all the moisture out before recharging the   
   system.
