Keep refrigerant circulating through your air conditioning system with this DENSO Auto Parts A/C compressor, part number 471-8107, a direct-fit replacement for the 1992-2002 Ford Escort and 1992-1999 Mercury Tracer with all engines. It is a new compressor that comes with its clutch, and its pulley runs on a serpentine belt.
The compressor drives the A/C system. When cooling is requested, the clutch connects the belt-driven pulley to the compressor, which draws in low-pressure refrigerant vapor and compresses it before sending it on to the condenser.
