Working on a 1997 Camaro, will not hold vacuum, so I was going to add a can of dye, started putting it in, I heard hissing coming from the front (clutch) of the compressor, Its a V-5 compressor, is there a seal I can purchase to change that out? Also do I need a special clutch removal tool?
Never mind about the seal, found one on the ACKITS website, but do I need any "special" tools to replace it.

You will need a hub R & R tool along with a Seal R & R tool in my opinion.

I'm about to attempt the same repair myself. Here's some good advice on changing the seals if you haven't aready found them.
