Hi, You guys have saved me so much money over the last year by giving advice or encouragement that I can take on some repair to a car/truck/tractor that I might have given to a mechanic otherwise. Subject today is my '94 GMC Suburban with 350 CI engine. Anyway, last night my AC compressor clutch or maybe the compressor itself froze up and started to fry the serpentine belt. I parked the vehicle safely and left it since it was after dark. Am going to try to limp it home (about 5 miles) later this morning. Called my local parts house and found that the clutch alone is about $90 and the clutch/compressor assembly is ~$150. Am thinking I would probably just do the whole thing, but wondering what I need to do about the refrigerant system. I don't have equipment to pump it down etc. so I know the tree huggers will not be happy about me releasing it, but I am more worried about the recharge. Can I just pull the compressor, replace it, hook things up again, and recharge or do I need to pull a vaccuum on the system to remove moisture, etc. Otherwise, if I can determine that it is just the clutch can I replace that without removing the compressor as a whole? This of course would alleviate the refrigerant concerns. All help is appreciated. TIA, Kirk
