[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 3737078, member: 24531"] After changing the compressor & accumulator, how long should I leave the pump running to ensure there is no moisture? Then very next question is how long to watch for leaks after shutting off the pump? I've heard various times used (run/wait): hour/hour hour/10min 20min/hour and other variations. The last time I did this I think I did an hour and an hour but I would like the shortest way possible :) Also, I did not replace the evaporator or the condenser. How much oil can I expect to be left in those two components of a typical mid-sized vehicle? Thanks guys! [/QUOTE]
