Most common issue would be a leak. Did you have to drain the system before you pulled the motor?

I think you would have to be a member of Mifbody.com to see it.

@ Gorn (or anybody else I guess), somebody suggested that the squeaking I've been dealing with the last 2+ weeks is my AC Compressor going bad. what's your take?

Two week would be a fairly decent leak. You should be able to find it. Its the ones that take 6 months to leak out that are tuff to find. It could be the sqeaking compressor but most of the time when a compressor causes a leak its the front seal. Many compressors can squeak and work for a long time. You can buy a freon-dye kit that comes with a black flashlight to find the leak. If you see it coming out the compressor clutch then its your compressor. If you end up searching for the leak first places to look are the condensor (thing infront of the rad) and any line that has to flex, like the line from the compressor to the condensor. Of course the leak can be anywhere.

If you are low on funds you could just mix up a spray bottle with some dishwashing soap and start spraying. It would be tuff to find it if its the compressor but that will find a leak. Check it with the motor off, you might get lucky.
Good Luck
