Air Conditioning Compressors

From the 1977 Chevrolet Passenger Car and Light Truck Unit Repair Manual

Overhaul of the axial six-cylinder compressor, whose mechanism is the same in all applications, and the radial four-cylinder compressor. Minor repairs to the clutch plate and hub, pulley and bearing and coil housing can be done without purging the system; the shaft seal and pressure relief valve can be serviced on the vehicle; the section closes with leak testing.
