    Ac compressor replacement question

    So I'm fairly certain my Ac compressor is toast. I plan on doing the swap myself, but was wondering if I replace it at home, will I damage it by driving to the AC shop with no freon in the system? I've read a lot of conflicting information.

    Ok finally getting the new lr3 up to speed. Last thing is a P0455 code. I have the "gas cap loose" message as well. Previous owner said hes replaced the cap. I bought another just in case. I know the best way to find the leak is with a smoke test. I called a couple indy shops and they want...
