DIY A/C repair questions.

Compressor died, honestly there were other problems. Some blockage someplace. a/c worked sporaticly (super cold sometimes, no a/c at all on others). I think the previous owner kept dumping quick fix crap into the system. Then the compressor clutch fried half engaged.


So. First couple steps...

Remove compressor.
Remove orifice tube
Remove dryer
Remove condenser (I hear THIS is were the gunk builds up, not the evaperator)

Now what?

Do I need to buy a special flush for the lines or would compressed air work? Do I even need compressed air? Should I compress air the lines thru the evap core?

Once I get replacement parts for the 4 parts above, do I just install it or do I need to prime the compressor w/ oil?

The belt isnt even on the A/C right now, so can I kind of replace it piece by piece (im to busy to do it all in one sitting) or will that recontaminate? can I prevent recontamination?
