Noob AC, cv boots, oil pan parts questions.
I need a new AC compressor and found a matching AC compressor on Rock Auto.
Old: Yuck.
New: DKV14D
Identical unit, so the metal connectors on the hoses mate up perfectly.
It *appears* I also need to replace two more items: a) AC receiver/drier/accumulator b) AC expansion valve (Comes complete in a kit on Rock Auto: https://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=5243757&cc=1212905&jnid=457&jpid=2)
Questions:
Does the AC receiver and expansion valve both need to be identical to the ones currently in the vehicle, or are they more universal when installing?
Should I also order O-rings?
I'm having a shop do the install work, professionally test, flush and fill it back up, but they'd prefer I provide the parts.
Anything else I'm missing? I know I need a new belt.
