My AC compressor bearing is shot, and the AC system leaks assuming the evap core is fault.

I bought a no AC belt to bypass the compressor for now.

I need to know whats the best way to do this the right way? Or If I take it to someone, what do you think the cost will be?

I was thinking:
Replace compressor, drier, evap, have someone vac and refill, what else should I replace?

Thanks

Replace the heater core while your in the box. It's not too expensive, and will save doing it later. Also check all your lines for cracks.

Also, replace the orifice tube its the little inline filter in the system. In my 02 you have to replace the whole liquid line to change it, i think its the same way on your year.

Just for the parts you listed, you're looking at @$500. Add $100 for a heater core(best to replace now while the case is out). Evac and refilling the system will vary, in my area it's @$130. That's over $600 for parts alone. And everything else is being replaced, you'd be ahead replacing the AC lines as well, add @$200. If you farm out the job, I would not be surprised if the bill was $1300-$1500.
