when my engine was being rebuild, this a$$hole called "friend" talked me into taking my ac off my car. (with friends like that who needs enemies, right?)Once the damage was done i realized what happened. Now my question is, is it possible to put it back, if yes, how much would mitsu dealer rip me off for. thank you
(the only thing i have left is ac compressor)

Hopefully, they didnt rip out the Evaporator under the dash..If it's still there, it's not all that hard to obtain all the parts,and bolt it all back up. Look for guys parting out cars, or local junkyards to get the parts. I would use a new filter/dryer though(the round cylinder thing that goes by the passenger wheel well). Once you have it all connected, take it to a shop that does AC work, to have them use the proper tools to do a recharge. The system needs to be put under a vacuum, to get rid of any moisture, and you will prob need a little bit of refrigerant oil added as well. It would be a good idea as well to flush out all the parts before you install them, to make sure there is no dirt/crap in the lines, or the condensor. Places like Autozone sell the flush chemical specifically for this, in a pressureized can, ready to go.

don't believe anything was taken under dash, just pipes and the rest of stuff around engine, btw can you tell me how does Evaporator looks, just to make sure its there, thanks for quick reply

The evaporator should be still in there, unless whoever took all of it out, went through the trouble of removing the entire dash to get the evap out..very unlikely. The two main lines connect to the evaporator at the firewall, so you should see the 2 connections to a aluminum piece that goes right at/through the firewall. This piece at the firewall is the evaporator.

thx again, you are big help

if you need any pics from eclipse manual let me know, i will snap a few for you

Flipping out over ac eh? Mine hasn't worked in months. I'm in no hurry to fix it either.

Here's how to get around it.

1. Open both windows.

2. Open sunroof if you have one

3. Drive really fast

thank you guys for everything. Today i went to my local junk yard and got all parts from dodge avenger, installed it(i was there when this guy was taking parts out, so i was able to see where all the parts go, thx eclipsegs96 for offer on pics), and now just waiting for A/C Accumulator(should be here on friday). I love this car again ;)
Does any1 knows whats the ac belt size?

OK, I gotta ask, does it get that hot in Iowa?

well, it's not bad as you guys have it south, but it goes over 95 during summer days.
