tool kit recomendations

[JLDickmon]

the only thing of any real value would be the compressor.. and everyone is right, it won't mount correctly to a 7.3 so it's worthless to you..

as fas as the condensor & evaporators go, just pass on them. Not a part that routinely fails on Ford pickups.

if they are free/cheap get the air boxes condenser & evaporator, and electronic controls from under the dash as they are all the same then you'll just need the accumulator, compressor and hoses when time comes. You will have to buy a new accumulator since you'll have it open for quite some time. Used compressors are a gamble and usually any warranty on a new/rebuilt compressor is void unless your replace the accumulator too.
