After a quick search, it seems like my Delphi is a GM HT6, so PAG 150 it is.

Any comments on all the links I just found during my search which brand the HT6 compressors as "known belly-leakers"? I was trying to keep everything OEM in an attempt to keep the replacement process as simple as possible, but now I am wondering if that O-ring is going to crap out early or if there is something that needs close attention to detail during the installation process to avoid this. (My bad if this should be a new thread.)
How long did the original last? Even if it lasted only 10 years, then that is quite a while for a vehicle already 20 years old. Also, it is possible that in the newly made pumps they used better rubber for the seals. My compressor went out after about 20 years. I'm guessing you are probably fine.

It's probably the original compressor that's being swapped. But cool, that's what I was hoping for, considering the posts I was seeing were from 5-10 years ago.
