I'm sure there are some details I've left out, as I said this was a big job, but I think I've hit all the major points. It helps that the AC system in the 9000 is really pretty basic as such things go, and most of the parts are reasonably accessible compared to "Brand X" cars. (On some you have to take the whole dashboard apart just to get to the expansion valve or evaporator!)
One tip I found somewhere (I don't remember where) was to remove the right side headlight for better access. This was really not necessary, it did not help, and in fact all this accomplished was to have the plastic inserts that clip onto the adjusters fall apart! I had to rig up a temporary kludge to hold that headlight in place using some duct tape and a small bungee cord. I'm thinking maybe of trying some RTV to replace the broken plastic pieces, seeing how well that stuff worked in the upper "dogbone" engine mount.
