When restoring my 1970 280SE coupe back in 1992, I had the old Frigiking AC blower unit removed and installed (but never wired in) a period Behr AC purely for looks. The AC system has been nonfuncitonal and devoid of freon for the past 17 years. A month ago I decided to wire in the Behr blower unit, and had my mechanic charge the system, convert to R134, and test it. He says the compressor is "weak"; I only get tepid air at all settings.
My question is whether merely sitting without running all these years would ruin the compressor. Everything else works (I of course replaced the drier bottle).
