Besides the 2 parts you mentioned, You'll need the accumulator, the low pressure switch (just out of picture frame), and the compressor hose assembly. They are all available at a good parts store. See picture.

Unless you took out the liquid line shown in your second picture. It has the high pressure switch in it and it is still connected in the picture. There is a switch on the back of the compressor, but it should still be connected also.

Re: air conditioner parts

I took the A/C out of my car and have what ever you need to complete your system. I will take any reasonable offer plus shipping for the parts.

thx
