I have replaced clutch on 94 EX in place w/o discharging. It's not terribly difficult.

However, if the compressor has siezed (sounds likely), the system will need a complete overhaul to function long term. Debris from the failed compressor will contaminate the system. Best way is to replace compressor, condensor, evaporator, expansion valve, and receiver/drier. Flush all hoses/lines. Assemble, vacuum and charge to spec.

good luck

 

I just want it to work for another year or two, I am on a limited time frame and budget, I am building a large stereo in the car. Local guy said that I could just vacuum out the lines and it should clean it good enough.

Also a friend suggested I clean / replace the EGR that it and or bad gas could be the cause of the weird idle issues

 

AC will work for a while, but how long is unknown. It depends how much debris left behind.

It is possible the expansion valve is blocked and no cooling is possible.

good luck
