^ If A/C flushing equipment is not available, carry out filtering of the air conditioning system after a new air conditioning compressor has been installed.
^ Install a new evaporator core orifice as directed by the A/C flushing or filtering procedure.
^ Install a new suction accumulator as directed by the A/C flushing or filtering procedure.
