Help with 99 Merc Sable

Recommended Posts

Someone has been hounding me to put a new A/C compressor on their 99 sable. I haven't seen the car yet but I have heard the dual overhead cam motors are a lot harder to do than the base model motors. I am looking for a diagram or picture of the compressor location, or some advice from someone who has had some experience with one of these. I would just like some heads up or info before I try to tackle the job and get on the other side of town just to be pissed off about it. I figure the Taurus's are the same.
