Okay, all I know for sure is that I need a new compressor clutch, and probably bearings (they were grinding before I bypassed the pulley). Is this fairly easy to replace, or at least to have done at a shop? Other than that I think it just needed a freon recharge.
If not, what am I looking at as far as total A/C replacement? Some place quoted $1000 for replacement. That sounds a bit high to me...

In 92, if I'm not mistaken that had the old R-12 Freon. That'* more expenive than R-134, therefore maybe conversion may be in place.
As for the price to replace the complete A/C system installed, if it'* all new parts that they're adding then that price is very reasonable, if it'* used parts, than you could probably knock a few hundred off. Depends on whether it'* been done at a dealer or not.

Thanks, I ended up getting the whole unit replaced, and I took it to this wonderful little middle-eastern shop that'* been down the street from my parent'* house pretty much since they've lived there (24+ years). They got a new unit, converted it to R-134, and replaced it all, also recharging the freon/oil.
Grand total... $445.
Now THAT'* a bargain! hehe. It'* so cool now! yay! ^_^
