    Checking prices online, found the compressor for a reasonable price.
    What other components that work with the compressor should I also
    replace? The Clutch Set?

    Any idea on the number of hours labour this should take?

    I will buy the parts myself, and go to an auto shop to have it
    installed.

    Thanks.

    I was told to replace the A/C Clutch, the A/C Coil, and the
    compressor. They didn't mention the drier as needing to be replaced,
    but I'm told from other knowledgeable folks that I should. What is
    the consensus here?

    Also, I'm tyring ot find the drier part online, but can't locate it.
    Does it go by another name?

    I think you'll find that the dryer is called the "receiver", if I am
    not mistaken. Typically replaced when the system is opened for any
    length of time. (I know only enough to be dangerous - so please check
    it out with others!)
