Default Swapped A/C Compressor Today

I'm telling you guys, since I hit 100k everything has gone out, lol. My A/C compressor died so I replaced it and the accumulator/dryer. Tomorrow I will take it to the base hobby shop and vacuum it out and recharge it.

I've replaced every belt driven accessory within the past year minus the crank/balencer pulley and power steering pump. I uploaded the pics from my phone, I will try and transfer them to my photobucket later.

Maybe you need to find an "O.A.D" overunning alternator decoulping pulley. Thier designed with a clutch and a spring inside that absorbs most of the vibrations and help accesories and belts last longer.

Pictures are fixed. But yeah, I've replaced the belt tensioner, water pump, alternator and now the A/C compressor.
