Remove the entire kit and kaboodle, the OEM design is design compromised when it was new. I took every stitch and fastener and sent it to the dump. Years of inop sitting and the hoses had rust in them as well as every component attached to them. The condensor box was solid block of corrosion. Was really a no brainer. If the next owner or you needs A/C, none of the components would be used, except for some switches. This is a long running discussion. I love A/C, but decided against installing a new system in my car, thats me, if I lived in the southern climes, one of the modern retrofits would be a no brainer.
