If you can afford the new one, by all means use it, If you install a used unit, you are just asking for trouble. It was taken out of the original unit for some reason.
compressors contain oil, that gets contaminated , if open to the air, it will absorb moisture which can result in acid in the oil, which will ruin the used compressor

At wnat age should you replace a central heat and air unit?
You replace it when the parts and labor to repair it to working condition costs more than is reasonable. If it is the compressor, it is usually best to buy a new unit. The time to replacement will depend on how heavily it is used--in Texas, my a/c was aged at 12 years; in Arizona, it was 30 years.

Does a large used freezer have to stand upright when transferring it in a truck?
IF it is an upright freezer, then the answer is yes. The reason for this is that the compressor unit has a sump at the bottom which is a resorvoir for the compressor's lubricating oil, and if the unit is tilted over too far, that oil can get into places where it does not belong, which can result in damage to the compressor or plugging of the coolant tubes on restart of the unit. are you reatrdedno you dumb loser

What causes a residential ac compressor to run continuosly and is the compressor supposed to run continuosly?
It will run continuously if the refrigerant charge is off. The compressor, condenser fan and inside blower fan should all run at the same time. If your thermostat shows that the unit will not keep up, it will not stop. If the unit used to cycle ok, clean outside coil, change filter inside and put a thermometer on the register closest to the air handler. It should be around 52-60 degrees F.
1992 Ford Taurus air compressor locked up breaking the belt that controls it and the powersteering unit is it possible to bypass the compressor with a bigger drive belt to regain steering unit?
Generally you can disconnect the clutch control wire connector and the clutch will not engage the bad compressor. Then you can install a new original belt. .. If both the clutch and compressor are locked up you can try to find a shorter belt and bypass the compressor. I would think this may be difficult because I don't believe they make a lot of different lengths in those type belts... You might find a good used clutch at a used auto parts yard and replace your bad one - just don't hook up the wires. luck!

Thanks for your comments and advise. I have already had the system professionally evacuated, but they want a fortune to exchange the compressor to tune of $800.00 and I did get different estimates.
