I gots cold air, cool he he

I just finished driving my 911 SC with a/c for the frist time since I bought it.
The rear condensor had a hole in it so I replaced it with a used one from e-bay (I got lucky). Then I evacuated the system with my harbor freight venturi vacuum pump ($9.95) and then installed the R132A fittings and charged it with oil and refrigerant, then pulled the little plastic vent thingie behind the center console.
It blows cold. Not as cold as my truck but cold enough. I was very conservatice with the amount of refrigerant I added because my gauges aren't here yet (on order). When htey get here I'll try to optimize the system. I need a thermometer to measure the vent temperature but right now i'd guess it's in the high 40's.
Much better than driving around on 95 degree heat with both windows rolled down.
I'm sure I did several things wrong but it works. I'm a happy camper.
