I live in Des Moines, Iowa and I just had my 98 Windstar into a dealer and they quoted me $1,200 for the manifold line and the compressor line to be repaired/replaced. Hope this helps.
Remove the Freon from the compressor. Remove the air conditioning hoses. Remove the compressor belt. Remove the compressor retaining bolts. Reverse the process to install the new air conditioner compressor.
The ac system will have to be drained of freon and the pressure released. Then the compressor can be removed and replaced. Replace all o rings along the way as well.
It was trial and error when I did mine. Through the top or Bottom, after pulling my hairout, I figured out that the Alternator and all the supporting brakets have to be removed. The compressor is easily pulled after the alternator and brakets are out of the way. Good Luck

Advice is to replace compressor the clutch goes bad only when the compressor goes bad on this model. They are sold to guys that rebuild compressors. Napa has the best price for clutches if you still want to try. Ebay there is a guy that sell rebuilt compressors for just a little more than the new clutch.
I don't know how to do it, but the dealer is charging me $2075.00 to replace it on my 2000 Windstar!
Unless you have a spring compressor dont try. If you dismantle it without the proper equipment, or dont know what you are doing that spring could take your head off.
There is no set millage for when you should replace a manifold line and accumulator. Most mechanics only replace when the accumulator and/or manifold lineÊstart to fail.
