Ok, it's not illegal to replace the compressor but unless you have the tools to capture the freon escaping from the system during the process you will pay heavey fines and possible jail time. I come from a heating/ac family so I should know a little about it.

Also, since we're getting picky. It's not illegal to buy R22 or R12. I got some about 6 months ago. You need a permit and it's not being manufactured in the US anymore so hard to find. Also it's not cheap. 30# tanks are $300 instead of $30 like they used to be.
