I am in the final stages of an a/c replacement project.

There is a kit available from Bud's Benz which I think is about $1,500. We used the compressor and condensor from this kit and my technician had a struggle to get them to fit. Check George Davis's posts on air conditioning as George has provided a lot of very useful information on his own installation project.

We got help from Jerry West at European Cooler Air in Texas who rebuilt my underdash unit. I found Jerry to be very helpful and I think that he could have supplied a whole new system. It would be worth giving him a call - 972 722 3791/972 771 3791.
