If you can't afford to fix your A/C then you need to get out of the airplane business. I know it's not cheap but no matter what kind of system you have there are basic trouble shooting steps that have to be done period. Airplane systems aren't the place to be experimenting or shot gunning parts...
sometimes components have a part number tag with serial number that sometimes has the weight on it but the components you describe it's not very likely. If an aircraft has an equipment list that came with it new there are weights listed there but those documents rarely survive years of use and...
