I live in Fl so it's mandatory to have A/C. After all the bad press on the factory A/C I was surprised on how well the stock system worked with 134A. I converted the York compressor oil and charged it up just before a trip to West Palm. The vent temp on the interstate was mid to high 30s. The charge only lasted a week but it gave me hope. I have found a local custom A/C shop and the owner is classic car friendly and easy to work with so now I'm half way through my A/C update. I'm in the process of having barrier lines made, converting to Sanden 508 compressor, and new drier. The evaporator and condensers will be checked for leaks and if all checks out will be reinstalled with a new expansion valve. Once system is reinstalled I will rent the vacuum pump and manifold gauge set from AutoZone (Free Service) and charge it up to see what happens. If all goes as expected I will have less $300 invested and if it works as good as it did for the week I had A/C I will be a happy camper.
