FWIR......when I did the plenum pull last summer......all appeared to be in good shape.....of course if this bearing replacement doesn't correct the problem....then I will have to look elsewhere.....I do have a kit to rebuild the compressor if necessary and would then be checking the clutch harness connector as you suggest......but right now I am leaning to the clutch bearing....you could really feel the difference between the two......so hopefully this is the answer......

Dave.....I did read that article before.....which is excellent and that is what prompted me to purchase the rebuild kit mentioned in the above post.....but I'm hoping that the clutch bearing replacement will be the answer.....I will know tomorrow for sure...….

Thanks Dave.....it is appreciated..... If I run into a problem....I will take you up on the offer.....

Well Dave....looks like I'll take you up on that offer.....will send you a PM....
Partial success today.....in that everything went back together......AC clutch seems to rotate all of the time now.....and although the air in the cabin was cool when I first started the engine.....it was just warm....freon gauge shows that I might be overfilled......and there is slight noise being heard now.....low pressure tube is not cold to the touch.....

Well it's been awhile since I've posted up....I haven't run or evan started the 94 since last June....ever since I did a number on the AC Compressor...

Have a new one ready to install and noticed when I slightly lifted the plenum....the gaskets ripped on both sides....kind of disappointed with that as they only had a few thousand miles on them..

Ended up pulling the plenum completely....will order new gaskets or reuse my originals....[emoji849][emoji16]20190520_164238.jpg20190520_164254.jpg20190520_174937.jpg20190520_174941.jpg

Started working on the 94 again and made some progress.....the radiator should is ready to come out....those 6 screws were a PIA as many have mentioned....did not have to remove anything on the passenger side....but removed items on the driver's side to gain access to those 3 screws...also a chance to clean the leftside well with parts removed...
Done for the day....will remove the shroud tomorrow....just have to remove the small hose connected to the top of the radiator in order to lift the shroud out....determined to get the AC operating once again and to start the engine once again since June of 18....
Still need to change out the accumulator....check the condenser and the radiator and I guess the oil cooler...
Making progress....[emoji16][emoji16]
In the pics below...
Horn cleaned....
I imagine the next pics are a vacuum tank.....cleaned....

Inside the left front well....
Before cleaning and first preliminary cleaning....should come up good after I'm finished....
All 6 side screws out....
Some of the wrenches needed to do the job....would have been a breeze for the top screws on both sides with a 7mm ratchet wrench....but couldn't find one locally....also 9/32" socket or wrench will also work....
Was too hot to go out to the 74....so the portable garage AC unit did good in the above 90 degree temps today...garage was in the low 80's and comfortable....[emoji16][emoji16]20190820_184139.jpg20190820_201758.jpg20190820_193633.jpg20190820_193623.jpeg20190820_184048.jpeg20190820_184101.jpg
