90 745 16valve 155k with R134a system

So I turn my AC on this morning and nothing happens. Upon inspection I determine that that there is no freon in the system and it appears the the condensor has ruptured and sprayed freon all over the upper right shoulder of the radiator. shit. FCPgroton wants $145 for the condensor. I have R134 BTW. What does it take to do it myself. I know just a little about auto ac systems, basic principles and basic troubleshooting. I've just recently learned how to charge it. (no, I haven't charged THIS car recently.) Any recommended literature? I'm guessing that I need some freon, some O rings and the condensor itself.

mostly looking for a book that will teach me rather than someone to hold my hand.

Any and all help appreciated.


Thanks
- Nate
