1. Remove old accumulator
2. Remove old compressor
3. remove orfice tube
4. Buy 2 cans of compressed flush cleaner, spray it into all lines.
5. Use air compressor with mosture filter on it, and blow out the lines. Wait an hour and blow them out again.
6. Install new orfice filter
7. Use revised larger orings from Ford - I can get you the part numbers if you want them - I just purchased them.
8 Install compressor.
9. Install new low and high side ports - they tend to leak. and are not that expensive.
10 Add oil to system, it is a fair amount I don't recall off hand.
11 Install new accumlator.
12. Install new clutch switch that is on accumulator.
12 Rent vacuum pump and pump down system for 30 minutes. If it doesn't pump down you have a leak somewhere. find it and fix it and then pump down again for another 30 minutes.
13. Charge system, I think it takes around 24 to 26 oz of freon.
