I'm on the fence now between just doing the minimal (swap in the Seiki compressor, new a/c tube and dryer), or going whole hog and replacing the tired condenser and evaporator (lots of the aluminum fins have corroded away), rebuilt Sanden compressor and new hose. A lot of these parts are much cheaper than they used to be (the evaporator can be had for about $100, I swear that used to be like $500).
Biggest thing holding me back is I can't remember how hard it is to replace the evaporator or condenser. I think the condenser requires removal of either or both of the radiator / intercooler, so kind of a big job if I have to drain the coolant. Is the evaporator as hard to get out as the fan motor assembly? If so, I'll leave it alone.
