I'm going to rebuild the AC in my 1986 Country Squire. My previous luck has been best with just replacing every component instead of trying to flush and replace seals, then finding more leaks later. Initially I was just going to leave the evaporator and flush it, but it looks like it won't be too hard to replace (Condition is unknown and the PO was clueless about the leaky heater already).
If anyone has any tips for the evap replacement I would appreciate them! The FSM is a little skimpy on pictures and details.
I am already planning on swapping to the later style FS10 compressor from a 1989-91.
I know I can swap to the later condenser as long as I get the right hoses.
Does the later 89-91 Evaporator core fit in my case without issue? I can get a Motorcraft evaporator core and I would really prefer that over one of the off brands.
I will likely have to go with the off brands for hoses so I get modern barrier hose for R-134a.
Note, the current compressor is questionable and the system has at least one major leak already, I'm not trying to band-aid this conversion.
Thanks!
