My El Camino is still running R-12. About every 10 years a compressor quits, and I end up recovering the R-12 into a tank of used R-12 and replace the compressor and accumulator, and flush everything, and recharge with the used R-12. The last time has been 10 years ago, so it is likely due soon. It is not making noise yet, or any more than a R4 style compressor makes. It will blow 40 degree air out in mass quantities on high. If the Elky sat in the sun all day in a 100 degree day, I was almost freezing cold by the time I finish my 12 minute commute home. It is all completely stock, except for an electric fan I added to the condenser to run only if the brakes are on and the compressor is running, like at a stop light or stop sign.
