2000 5.4 AC Compressor replacement
Hi! I have recently decided to try and replace my own AC compressor even after reading on here how difficult it is. After realizing that I cannot buy freon from the auto shop I'm kind of at a standstill. I realize that I will not be able to recharge it without going to a shop.
My question is, is it possible to install the compressor and still use my truck for a week, either with the whole compressor unplugged or by making sure I don't use the defrost or AC in the truck.
Thanks for your input!

You should be able to get pag oil and R 134a at any parts store. I just replaced my compressor and recharged it.
