describing in detail how to replace the AC compressor. If you want to stick
with the original style compressor, it is a York T210L. That was used on many
Fords from the 70s and 80s. A direct replacement is a Four Seasons 58064. You
can get one at most any parts store or on Ebay. A brand new one is typically
in the $200-$300 range.
