A decade ago when I bought my low mileage, pristine '89, I got the stock AC checked out and spent a bunch on R12. The very experienced tech proclaimed success...that it worked perfectly and was one of the best he had seen. I was ecstatic. He went on to excitedly tell me that he was able to get the vent temp under 60 (in the 50s). Remembering the mid 30s vent temps in my '74 (with a system as in the post above) and noting that we were inside his cool shop...I was underwhelmed, but thought to myself...better than nothing. I drove the car out into the heat of the day and felt the vent air turn warm almost instantly. Oh well...should have known. Might have been good enough for Germany...but not Vegas.
