Yep, $409 all up, including that little rubber grommet.
Its booked in to an Auto Eleccy this Tuesday, he'll remove the old compressor/receiver dryer, flush the system, install the new receiver dryer and compressor that I supplied and gas it up. (finger crossed)

A bit of pre prep to make the tech's job 'easier'

Nice work dude. Aircon up nth is a must ! Great price I'm glad it worked out for you

You didn't drive it like that did you? If you drop the bumper you have 2 bolts remaining holding half the car together.......

I actually did drive it like that, although very gentley.
Theres also the rad support plate left for a bit of strength......

Still, probably wasn't the best thing to do in hindsight......

(If anyone ever reads thorugh this, dont drive your MK2 like this, I'm just stupid)

Broke the A/C in today with a good hour or two on the highway.
Its worked FANTASTIC in 35 Degree+ heat and high 70's humidity, both on the highway and in stop start traffic. Not as refined as late model car A/C systems, but it still does a good job.

How much did it cost though? And what did I need?

Reciever Dryer - $35
Compressor - $400
Fitment/flushing and regasing the system - $295
Total - $730

Not sure if this helps much, but I did spend a good hour on the condensor straightening the fins and removing all the bugs an rocks before taking it to the A/C tech.
