@carls_garage: AC compressor installation guide, tips, tricks and common mistakes. Universal tutorial, buying a complete air conditioning kit instead of replacing just the compressor. Why does my cars AC keep going out? Products to get the job done as a diyer. Watch before install change remove replace fix A/C compressor. Should I change accumulator expansion valve receiver dryer orifice tube. Change all seals gaskets and/or sealing washers. Recharge, vacuum, flush and inject oil into the system. Specific vehicle 2005 Chevy Equinox 3.4L
The new China junk compressors regularly can’t make it even when you replace everything, and flush it good.

well what happens when your compressor has a hole in it and it's 860 just the compressorm and you can't find the whole kit because according to the web it doesn't exist. Will just the compressor work?

You do know in the video that you were spinning the clutch pulley and not the compressor right?

it only has an accumulator or an expansion valve. an accumulator always accompanies an orifice tube. a dryer goes with the expansion valve.

on MY car I usually just delete the ac system. but for a customer I would strooooongly recommend a full system kit. especially if the compressor went all sparkly. or zero guarantees.

I’d replace the condenser and flush out the evaporator and the metal lines with a/c flush before slapping it all together
