piece of crap compressor o-rings are still leaking.. i am soo frustrated and partly because i know i should have done it the right way from the start and just replace the crappy orings.. but oh well, i really hope the orings fix it and there is not another leak somewhere else!!
I called my local dealership (Sheehan Pontiac) and got a price of $800. Brand new AC Delco compressor, labor and a 134 charge.
I received a LIFETIME parts and labor warranty. I'll never pay a penny again for A/C troubles for a compressor, all labor and 134.
There are some things that are better done at the dlearship. Not many, but this is one.
I also have a lifetime 15% discount card from the owner of dealership, so that helps on any services I ever need done.

not to hijack but i got simiar problems..
my vents are blowing warm at 60 and when i increase it the air does get hotter.. compressor/clutch is turning on.. after readin some of these posts i turn the ac on and ran it for a while today, and there was no condensation dripping from the drier, none of the tubes were remotely cold.. the system was just vacuumed and filled btw.. could this still be an orifice tube deal or drier itself? should i replace both of them anywayz and see if that works.. this is on a 2000 vette also
btw no ac in houston, tx when its 100+ outside sucks ***!

Agreed, the leak stuff is crap, around here you have to look hard to find r134 without the leak crap in it, all of the autoparts stores sell that, and the artic chill stuff.
Question on the 2# comment for the f-cars? Do all f-cars require 2 pounds? My 98 states 1.5# on the sticker, which should be 2 12 oz cans correct?
Thanks,
Ryan
