I''m looking at removing the A/C from a '74 Roadrunner for a future re-installation. What are the procedures to store a compressor, evaporator, condenser, hoses, etc. etc. in the interim?

if it has a dryer, I think that is the only thing that needs to be "sealed" the rest of the parts just need to be capped to keep critters out of it. new parts do have tighter seals on the compressor, because they pre-oil so it doesn't come out. but just plastic press fit caps on everything else. Thanks for the reply. When you go back together, what is the cleaning procedure for components other than the compressor and the dryer, blow out with air, flush with some kind of solvent, ???

I''m looking at removing the A/C from a '74 Roadrunner for a future re-installation. What are the procedures to store a compressor, evaporator, condenser, hoses, etc. etc. in the interim? Mine was apart for 3 years. I taped the compressor and condenser. I replaced the H valve, drier, and evaporator. I drained the oil from the compressor and condenser then filled it with the required 6.4 oz. The lines were kept in a sealed bin. I vacuumed it for 2 hours, charged it and it's been working great.

when i pull a vacuum on a system, i have a ball valve that i close, then monitor the system for loss of vacuum. if no loss, then proceed to charge. if vacuum drops, it's time to find the leak.
