I did the same swap before reading your post. I have been chasing this same intermittent AC problem for months, finally solved it today. Pulled Relay 44 and replaced it with a different relay (Gave both relays a gentile tap) The AC never worked better and continues to do so. The Compressor...

The same location recently on my truck, changed the plugs and found a large nut / pit (looked like the size of two peach pits together) wedged in there around #4 coil. Amazing that something as big a squirrel could cary that into the compartment and work it into place with the air box in place!
