Swing out radiator, antifreeze color, compressor belt, and . . .

[Jeff Miller]

spin it by hand, free? Any pressure? Pump a vacuum, see if it holds
(after tightening the clamps at the pump). If it holds a vacuum, I'd
add some oil and recharge with R-12. R-134a will work, but it will
leak faster and cool less, and I'm not sure it is that much cheaper
than R-134a anymore after changing the oil and flushing. Oh, also
change the filter/dryer (in overhead).
