Actually it's important that the AC compressor be turned on and run every few weeks (for a few minutes) ALL winter. That prevents seal hardening and greatly increases compressor life. It's not necessary for the later systems (124/201, later 126) that use the Nippondenso compressors that function whenever the system is in defrost (and the temperature is in the correct range).
