Want this question answered?
If I change the AC compressor in a car, do I have to change the orifice?
no, unless u have to remove the compressor unit. The clutch can be replaced with out removing the compressor if you have room to do it.
The amount of oil charge required for an automotive AC system is specific to the car. There is not standard amount for all cars.
The Autozone web site says 7.00 ounces.
You will have to replace the refrigerant, but not the engine coolant.
If the system didn't blow a hose and you are only replacing the compressor, I would add 3 ounces of oil to the new compressor through the suction port and turn the comp by hand several revolutions to pump it through.
yes because it make the ac longlife

My car is going through the same issue with the A/C. You CAN replace the compressor clutch without replacing the compressor, but the caveat is that you can't tell if the compressor is any good without a clutch. So basically you are gambling that the compressor will still be good by only replacing the clutch. Hope this helps!
The compressor, along with several other parts make up the ac system. The most common part to go bad and need replacing is the compressor.
the clutch on your A/C compressor needs to be replaced.
No it can't. The compressor breaks internally and that is why it locks up
