ac compressor help

i have a bad compressor. i have a 91 camaro rs v6
still with the r12 setup. im not converting to 134a
i took a chance and bought 2 ac compressors from a junkyard that were still sealed in its own system, first one didnt even hold refrigerant, the second one actually held it and blew ice cold for about 10 mins and then the seals blew from inside and there goes all the refrigerant.. i cant bare to do another summer without ac.

where can i get a r12 compressor?
i can find them online for 300 to 400 bucks. im hoping there is another place?

Re: ac compressor help

If its just the seals, buy a seal kit from someplace. Check with vintage air maybe?
