Default 99 GS300 AC Compressor and NEW Expansion Valve

I bought a used A/C Compressor from a local specialized parts house. It came from a '99 Lexus GS300 with 70K miles. It is actually still under their 101 day warranty.
These units are anywhere from $590 to $650 depending on which Lexus dealer you call. It's in perfect shape and was actually still pressurized when I picked it up a couple weeks ago.

I also have a brand new Expansion Valve from Sparkplugs.com; new in box. I paid $36.05 + shipping for it.

My mechanic thought I had one or both of these parts broken on my car. I took it to the local Lexus dealer and it turns out I only had a schrader valve that had loosened.

I'll sell both for $425 shipped to you via UPS ground.
I can provide pics if needed.
