could use some advice on 72 Suburban AC system - repair or replace?

[iriereggaeman]

Hello,

My 72 burb has factory AC, along with the rear unit. Both were functional (not great at cooling, but ok) when I bought the rig. About one month into owning it, the compressor failed on me. I don't have much cash on hand (with all the family needs LOL), but need to get the AC up and running again. Florida summers are brutal without AC.

Looking for opinions. Should I attempt to replace the OEM compressor? Get one of the Sanden compressors everyone seems to rave about? I really like what I have seen with the Vintage Air systems, but it seems like I can't evolve to a complete system over time, and I don't have the cash for the complete Gen IV system.
