Hi Jeff:
That price sure sounds like the AC Delco version. I would buy a new
compressor if it's AC Delco where they are so inexpensive. Outfit with a
new receiver/dryer on the change up, vac the system down for a minimum
of 45 minutes to an hour. Let it sit, to see if the vacuum holds. If no
leaks, charge her up and you should be good to go.
The absolute best source for parts of this type which are critical to
the MB climate control and your comfort is Jonathan Hodgman! I use
discount houses for some items but when it comes to this amount of work
and the needed cooling, buy only MB quality. You can call me where I
have a local number to you if you need details on what must be done to
stage that new compressor before mounting and this includes oil removal
and proper installation of correct oil.
Good luck, staying cool!
