I have a couple questions about a 94 chevy caprice?

how difficult is it to change out a serpentine belt in a 94 caprice, also how much does a ac compressor run for one of these cars.

You don't even need a friend to help change it, take a sharp knife to the old one, and it comes off EASY.

There is a specialty tool for belt tensioners, but I have never used one.

All I use is a ratchet if I can get it on or a box end wrench and a pipe for leverage if needed.



Your first responder is correct in that it will take a professional shop to do the repair. You may be able to get a deal from where ever you buy the compressor.

Good luck

The serpentine belt is easy. All it takes is a ratchet handle and a friend. You relieve the tension and he slides the old belt off and slides the new one on. The A/C compressor will run you about $250 for the part, but it will take a pro with specialty tools to install it, vacuum the system, and recharge it. Total cost might be as high as $500. Good luck.
13mm socket on a decent 3/8%26quot; drive rachet is all you need to change serpentine belt.



as far as AC, a compressor usually will run $250 plus depending on where you get it from. IT's recommended to buy new orifice tube and drier. As long as the AC comp is the only thing at fault (IE no holes in evaporator or condenser), you can buy manifold gauges, and a vacuum pump at Harbor freight for under $100. Get the right comp oil, and the right amount of 134a. Get a haynes manual, and with a little ability you can probably change out the compressor yourself. Plently of directions on how to pull down the system and charge it yourself.
