Ac issues, pls help

Unfortunately i would agree with the above post.  To add, it is also "possible" that crud/debris/metal shavings/etc. have traveled through the system as well.  This means you will need to flush the entire system and replace the dryer in addition to replacing the compressor/clutch, etc.  The crud can get into the evaporator and condenser both...  If it is not properly flushed, evacuated/etc. you'll just be doing it again...

Might be time to consider a complete system replacement with aftermarket...

Well crap... i do want to clarify: the instructions that came with the compressor were generic and not for that specific compressor. The sticker that said to add oil, was on the back port (which i assumed would be the same thing is putting it in front port).

Another example of mayhem that could be avoided by reading the FSM.

Thanks all for ur advices. I took the car to a shop to get some other work done, and ordered new compressor and new clutch. The system was flushed, everything was professionally installed and seems to work fine. Doesnt blow too cold, before it blew colder. But at least it works...

Another issue, that the shop wasnt tagged to do arose. The water (condensate) drips on the passenger floor mat. Like A LOT. It comes from the area of a metal thingy thats above the foot well.. not sure what it is, its like cylindrical. Id be  happy to take the car to the shop again for this (as others have suggested, since my skills are crap), but the last visit took 3 weeks to grt headers installed... i feel like with this issue, id get my car back when the snow is on the ground. One of the reasons i tried to avoid taking it to a shop...

So you're A/C isn't blowing cold and the condensation drips in the cab?? Sounds like the shop is inept and should take responsibility of their work to correct it.

Did they do any work to the a/c box or just the compressor? Could be that the a/c box is not fully seated to the firewall and the drains are not in the correct place. Loosen the bolts on the firewall and try adjusting the whole a/c box so the drain spouts exit outside the car rather than on the floor.

Thanks, will try that.

The components under the dash seem almost new. The ac blows cold air, but not ice cold as i imagined.
