I might know a little something, Im more performance than repair. The expansion valve may be clogged with something that might have come from your bad compressor - metal shards /dirt whatever. If you run the new compressor and the expansion valve lets go of that piece of dirt or metal shaving, it will screw up you whole system all over again and everything will need to be replaced. It's been awhile, but I think the valve is under the dash and in the manual it says that has to be removed. The same book also says it takes 8 hours to remove. If it's the same valve I'm thinking of, down in the dash, You don't actually have to remove the dash (I wouldn't want anyone doing that anyway, think of all the things that could get broken in the process) You can go in through the front of the car by removing the blower motor.

[QUOTE="nsxlr8, post: 45715, member: 4361"] I might know a little something, Im more performance than repair. The expansion valve may be clogged with something that might have come from your bad compressor - metal shards /dirt whatever. If you run the new compressor and the expansion valve lets go of that piece of dirt or metal shaving, it will screw up you whole system all over again and everything will need to be replaced. It's been awhile, but I think the valve is under the dash and in the manual it says that has to be removed. The same book also says it takes 8 hours to remove.
