An Amazon AC compressor is probably not a good choice. Denso and Valeo make the AC compressors for most auto manufacturers, these would be the only two I would consider for aftermarket replacement if available.

Pros: reliable aftermarket replacement

Cons: probably not a good choice

Second defective Denso. First one sent shrapnel through the whole system, and the whole system was replaced. This unit is under vacuum so it is only the clutch pulley turning.

Cons: defective unit, sent shrapnel
