I have a 98 silverado that I recently replaced the dryer, compressor and condenser. The system has been charged and ac is working but truck temp gets hold setting at idle when AC is on. At the time, I didn't know but I have metal shavings in the system from the old compressor. I think it maybe getting hot because the orifice tube is clogged.? I'm not sure as I'm pretty new to all the ac stuff. I know the system needs to be flushed, but I have a few questions:

1. Since the compressor has been running with the shavings, does it need to be replaced again?
2. I know the manifold hoses need to be replaced since they can't be flushed and replace the dryer, but how about the condenser? Can I just flush it out or does it need to be replaced too?
3. Can the evaporator be flushed or does it need to be flushed? If so, can I flush it from its current location without removing it from the dash?

Thanks in advance

You should have purged the system, that would have taken the failed compressor stuff out. Orifice probably is plugged. Take the freon back out, replace the orifice.

Only replace the orifice and don't worry about anything else?
