Any system with condensor failure would need orifice tube and accumulator replacement as well. All aftermarket brands from parts stores are good and most come with lifetime warranties at reduced cost. My shop uses mostly parts form O'reillys and Auto Zone. Also flush you system with a/c flush and compressed air to rid lines and evaporator of contaniments. Add new pag oil. Parts stores can pull up what kind and how much when you look up parts based on your vehicle make and model. Just be sure to lightly lubricate new orings at all sealing surfaces or a leak will occur.

If it's been open that long don't forget to put a vacuum pump on it for at least 25 minutes as well.

The radiator has to be at least moved if not completely removed. Your car is supercharged and will be quite different from the 6 cylinder mustang.

There is the link to it your going to want to vacuum the system down since you opened the system to help get the moisture out. Auto zone rents a lot of that stuff depending on the auto zone.

I gave the link for vacuum and recharging you can suck oil in when system is under vacuum.

Two ounces for the condenser.

It says to actually drill a 1/2" hole in the top of the old dryer and measure how much comes out. I would just put in two ounces for that one as well.

You are welcome keep me posted on how you make out.
