If you have a dessicant and the ac system is exposed to air, it will suck up water and will need to be replaced or held under a vacume for a long time.
Can I run my car with no AC condenser?
Should be fine... Don't use the de-frost either. You could pull the ac fuse and/or the drive belt to be sure. Seal the the ports in the compressor to keep dirt and moisture out.
Can I remove my AC condenser?
Do not release the condenser from its mounts yet, just remove parts that are in the way. The parts required to be removed, and how they are removed, will vary greatly from car to car. Consult the Factory Service Manual.
What does a condenser do on a ignition system?
The condenser absorbs the energy and prevents arcing between the points each time they open. This condenser also aids in the rapid collapse of the magnetic field.
Can you drive without condenser fan?
Yes, technically your engine does not need a cooling fan to operate. ... If the radiator does not have cool air blowing on it constantly, it will overheat eventually, so you'd need the perfect combination of weather and traffic to drive effectively without a radiator fan.
Can you drive a car with a broken compressor?
It is most likely OK to operate your vehicle even thought the a/c compressor has failed. ... As long as the compressor pulley is rotating smoothly, without wobble or noise, it shouldn't affect belt tension or operation of the other belt-driven accessories.
Will AC work without compressor?
It's where energy is applied to the refrigerant to make it circulate through the rest of the AC. Without the compressor to turn refrigerant into a high-pressure hot gas, the refrigerant won't move between the indoor and outdoor coils and cool the inside air of the house.
Do I need an AC condenser?
Without the condenser, the refrigerant would retain its heat and the process would not work. Therefore, it's important to be able to tell if the condenser is malfunctioning or broken. Often, the problem may not be with the condenser coils themselves, but with the fan or motor in the outdoor unit.
What happens if you don't replace AC compressor?
Refrigerant could be leaking out of the compressor and that could lead to potential health concerns such as coughs, headaches, irritated eyes and nausea. If all the refrigerant leaks out, it could cause the unit to overheat.
Can you replace just the condenser?

You can get an estimate if you click this link, which will include the estimated labor hours along with replacement parts and supplies. The job takes about 3 to 5 hours to complete.
Will a bad condenser cause no spark?
As your book says, it is needed control the collapsing of the coil's field to get a good spark. Without a good condenser, not only may you get arcing, but you will not get good spark.
What causes a condenser to fail?
Electrical failures: Electricity powers the motors inside the condenser that operate the fan and the compressor. Malfunctions with the electrical relays, capacitors, or the wiring inside the motors can cause these crucial components to stop working and lower or completely stop the cooling process.
