Front air conditioner

[Tom Warner]

It can be fixed and the cost is going to be determined by what condition
the condenser, hoses, compressor, air drier and other parts are in and how
much of the work you can do yourself. My system is a little different then
yours since your compressor is in the rear and you have long hoses to the
front. Other then that the technology is the same. Contrary to what was
first thought when technicians were converting R12 to R134a, you do not
have to replace your hoses if you dont have a leak in them now.. I pulled a
vacuum on my system after replacing the compressor ( I believe $229 from
NAPA) and air dryer for 24 hours and it was not leaking. Charged it with
R134a and it is still working fine after a year. Maybe I am different but I
bit the bullet and bought a high end Vacuum pump (Robinaire), gauges and a
couple of cases of R134a that were on sale for $18/case at Sams club. I
figured that since I had to do the A/C in the coach I might as well have
the equipment to take care of my other cars also.
If anyone is interested I have the procedures for doing a R134a system. By
the way I spent about $500 converting my A/c in the 1982 FC35 and that
included a new compressor, air dryer and the tools.
