The process involves evacuation and storage of refrigerant in the system. I'd recommend you have a professional do this. Bear in mind also that when you open up the system and expose it to ambient air, your vehicle has either an accumulator (if it's a fixed orifice tube system) or a receiver-drier (if it's a thermal expansion valve system) which will have to be replaced, as well, as those components contain a desiccant which ensures that only refrigerant in vapor form travels onward to the compressor. This desiccant will become fully saturated within a few minutes of exposure to ambient air, and will no longer be effective. Also, before you unseal your accumulator or receiver-drier, you're going to have to pull a vacuum on your system.

How do you replace AC compressor in 1995 Chevy G20 van?

To replace the AC compressor in a 1995 Chevy G20 van, first, ensure the vehicle is off and disconnected from the battery. Remove the drive belt by loosening the tensioner, then discharge the AC system properly to avoid refrigerant release. Disconnect the electrical connector and the refrigerant lines from the old compressor, unbolt it from its mounting. Install the new compressor by reversing the removal steps, ensuring all connections are secure, then recharge the AC system with the appropriate refrigerant.
