Honestly its a tossup on which to buy. I normally to the clutch only on a car but I normally know for sure thats all I need. Since you mentioned something about a noise occurring now, I would probably replace it all ass well. Sounds like you could have a bad compressor bearing
Thanks for the info.

I think that I am going to pick up a gauge set and Vacuum pump. That will let me check the pressure to see if the system has leaked down, if it hasn't I will get a shop to do the recovery. Then from my understanding, it should just involve replacing the compressor and dryer, pulling a vacuum, and refiling.

I thought about trying to do a system leak check while I am at it, but am not sure the best way or if it is really needed. I read somewhere that the test dye is bad for systems, but am not sure if that is true.
