Steve,

The interdynamics kit is adequate for the R134 and the oil (tht's about all)

O-rings are available from AutoZone.  I posted the set of part numbers last
summer on shoforum, but I don't have them immediately handy.

www.ackits.com is a good source both for materials and for advice.

If your compressor failed internally, there are likely pieces of it
throughout the system (black deatch).  That will take considerable effort
and money to fix.
