2002 trans am ac compressor? Hi everyone
My ac decided to give up so I went to a garage who filled it up with the green stuff in order to locate the leak. Of course they didn't find anything but they told me usually the compressor gives up on this model. It is obviously pretty common.
So my question is where can I find a compressor for my ac ? OEM ac Delco or similar ?
Thanks all

Probably want to get a kit and replace as a unit. Shop did my 99 TA's was like $900 total. $450 labor and $450 for the compressor, dryer etc

Rockauto tends to have the best prices plus the 5‰ discount code in the sponsor section helps. When you change the compressor you also have to change the dryer and the expansion valve and do a complete flush to keep the warranty so it's best to get a "kit" with all the parts together.
I'm literally in the middle of changing a compressor on our truck and it's just a junkyard compressor and cheap walmart freon to get it running again cheap.

make sure when replacing the compressor, replace every seal and you filter drier/accumulator. Put it into a vacuum for 20-30 minutes to get all the moisture out of the system.

So everything was installed at the garage and as soon as they finished they called me to tell me “the high pressure line is leaking...”
thanks meineke for wasting my time and money... well at least they won’t charge me to recharge next time once I find the line.
now question: any website where I can find the line ?
Edit : found the line online for $47 shipped. Should be here soon so I can finally enjoy some cold air in those hot summer days lol

Same thing happened to me. Though after replacing the leaking compressor (casing seal) they went after the hp cutout switch which wasn't leaking. The actual hp leak was on the nearby hp tubing itself which had someone been shaved down by friction with another metal part. Didn't even see how that could happen. But, it did. 6 yrs now on my new Dephi compressor, LP and HP lines, and no issues since. All those parts ran me around $500. The shop didn't charge me for any labor after they mis-diagnosed the hp side leak.

I think it's better to see before where is the leak.
If it is the ac compressor I've buy new from Rockauto Denso, then the dryer, the orifiice tube and the o ring kit complete.
The ac delco is only reman and for me is better Denso or delphi but NEW.
See the inch of clutch if is the same of oem.
