Quick a/c question

[76Datsun280z]

Well, I talked to my dad about it tonight and he said that he would pay for the new compressor in the link above if I bought and payed for a new a/c drier, so I'm going to have a local auto parts store order in a new one.

Still am a bit curious about why you need to purchase a new drier in order to maintain the warranty with most of these new compressors, thanks for any info.

Got the new reciever/drier installed today (pic. included) and all that is left is to order that new compressor which we will do the middle of next month. Replaced the idler pulley bairing too.

Found a link that might be of some interest the other night while doing some research on the Hitachi SWP123 A/C compressor. (75 280Z) Place is located out in Texas and rebuilds the A/C compressors found on most of the Z series cars. They can also refurbish/rebuild the A/C hoses if you want them to do that as well...If you want to get REALLY spanky...they can chrome your A/C compressor for you if you're into the chrome look...
