I have a slow leak in my A/C system that I've been ignoring since Jim K has cheap Duracool. Well it's time to bite the bullet and replace the compressor - it's leaking around the front shaft and doesn't hold a charge like it used to.

Must I be an adventurer if I want to replace it with something more modern? Do the Sandeen compressors really offer something better, cooler, lighter, more efficient?

Should I replace anything else while I'm at it, like the dryer or???

I'll probably do the A/C mods that are listed on Gene's site, but without a sealed system all of those fixes don't really fix anything.
