3. Remove the electric A/C compressor.

Note for installation
- Do not install the electric A/C compressor into a system unless you are completely sure that the system is free of contamination. Installing the electric A/C compressor into a contaminated system can result in premature electric A/C compressor failure. Refer to A/C System Contamination Inspection .
- To avoid contamination, do not return the oil to the container once dispensed, and never mix it with other refrigerant oils.
- If you are installing a new electric A/C compressor, you must calculate the amount of refrigerant oil to be removed from it . A new electric A/C compressor comes with a full charge of oil.
