yes! whenever you open the system it should be replaced!

YES check to see if it comes with the filter that one can just replace if you don't want to change the whole accumulator. Check this one out.
Good luck! GMC

as part of the warranty, you must also purchase the accumulator as well or the warranty becomes void. depending on year model, you might look into changing the oriface tube as if the old compressor came apart at the seems, it might have introduced trash into the lines and caught the tube. they are very inexpensive.

That's what I meant Brad orifice tube I wrote down filter. Also Brad I know all the parts houses around here will void the compressor warranty if one doesn't replace the accumulator & orifice tube.
