2002 dodge stratus 2.4L DOHC, with a/c compressor clutch noise(definately). Clutch can not be purchased seperate, so need to replace compressor w/ clutch. Q. Since the cluch is bad does that mean the system is contaminated and need a drier w hose?
I know once replace compressor/clutch the system will need to be vac'd and charged, but unsure if I need to replace drier and hose or can pre-existing remain? There is no leak in system at this time.
Stupid question, please let me know your expertise when answering this question.
Thank you for helping me.

Any time system is opened for repair drier needs to be replaced to get out moisture that can corrode and damage system. Also make sure you measuer oil in old comp replace amount oin new and add 1oz. For drier
