I am replacing my compressor in my 2007 Infiniti g35x after having the same issue with my compressor. All said and done I will only spend around 370 on the repair (that includes tax. I am going ahead and swapping out the serpentine belt while I am at it, since I have to take the old one off anyway. Here were my costs, if people want a second reference!
AC compressor (comes with a bunch of o-rings, drier filter, expansion module, and compressor oil) was 327
Serpentine belt was 13
Freon (R134a) is 30
Manifold gauges and vacuum were FREE because I used the tool loaning service Autozone has and returned the tools once I was done.

Im curious why the car wizard says doing this is a bad idea. He says that when the compressor fails it throws metal pieces all through the lines and the dryer and that just replace it the compressor will cause it to fail again from debri damage. I wanna know what Chris thinks about it.

question, I own a Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GT 2001 and I'm in the process of buying the A/C compressor but for my vehicle there are 2 compressor types: a 3-line compressor and a 4-line compressor. How would I be able to determine that information from my vehicle?

The new compressor can get damaged unless the entire A/C system is thoroughly flushed of any metal filings from the old compressor. This may also include replacing the expansion valve and the receiver filter.

Really appreciate the videos. I learned a lot from this one and I'm going to be tackling changing a 2014 Nissan NV200 ac compressor, on the bottom, Lol. Just ordered the gauge and vacuum set. Here we go!

Great video but if your AC compressor locks up you will also need to replace the dryer, expansion orafice and condenser, you can reuse the lines if you blow them out with an air nozzle
