My compressor caught fire on my dodge last year and I removed it and bought a pulley replacement kit for my existing belt. I'm thinking of purchasing a new compressor. Since the old line has been open for over a year, [no tape/caps] is there any way I can install new compressor, vac down and it will be good to go for oil/freon? I'm not a professional AC man, but I do have a vac pump, gauges I've used on minor repairs in past. {I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night either}
Do you know why the old one caught fire ? I trust you do not want a repeat performance ?
Did it self-destruct , internally , in this process ?
Guessing , at the least you will need to replace the accumulator and flush the bugs / varmets out , that may have homesteaded in the rest of the system ? In addition to dirt and moisture .
Best of luck .
God bless
