Besides the cost to rebuild, the original compressors are prone to oil leakage not to mention the weight of them. I went with Classic Air (Old Air) as it uses a modern compressor at about 1/4 the weight. The bigger issue for me was using my existing factory controls and vents rather than plumbing new stuff. Works great and would do it again. The kit comes with everything from new style condenser to evaporator and everything in between for about $1300. It also only uses about 5 hp to run as opposed to 15 hp for original.
