Should I wait until the compressor fails? the compressors on my '85 and on the '87 are both loud. also seem to absorb too much energy IMHO. i thought i was going to have to replace the '85's (it was really loud) but it kept on cooling and never failed. i have a compressor from an '84 that Gerry Skerbitz gave me and that one is loud too 'cause it's still rolling around in the trunk of my car. :) -dan
