So my AC system has gone from holding a charge for ~10 days at a time to holding a charge for less than 24 hours (at which point there is virtually no pressure in the system at all - compressor won't even cycle). I replaced the high- and low-pressure diagnostic port Schrader valves, as these were leaking last time something like this happened, but to no avail.
Given that I'm moving back to TX soon, and I *NEVER* want to deal with this again, I'm going to do a complete system rebuild. New compressor, evaporator (which I know is bad), and so on.
Below is the parts list I've compiled thus far:
Also, should I shell out extra cash for a brand-new compressor, or take my chances with an AutoZone remanufactured unit?
In any case, please let me know if I've missed anything... I really want to make sure this repair is good for at least 10 years, so if you know of any reputable part manufacturers or suppliers (other than AutoZone) where I can get good deals on these components, I'm all ears.
Thanks in advance!

- Compressor
- Condenser
- Evaporator
- Heater core
- Hose assemblies (hard and soft lines, low and high pressure)
- A good set of AC line tools
