Reinstall the compressor and clutch assembly onto the vehicle following the procedures on pages 13-30 and 13-31 of the 1983 Subaru Service
Manual (MSA-116). Consult pages 13-19 through 13-24 for proper evacuating and charging procedures.

whenever contaminants enter the system or if the receiver drier is blocked.
