Re: 134A Conversion - I'm needing AC(and I'll need it in FL more)

["Brian Wagner" <scirocco_88_16v@hotmail.com>]

The kit that Allyn mentions does not contain the proper high side adapter 
fitting. You will need to pick up a 7/16" adapter (high on early GM and 
Foreign cars). Also if its still working, you still have R-12 in the system. 
Take it to a shop and have them draw a vacuum on the system (removes all the 
R-12). I have all the equipment to does this at home if your in the Texas 
neighborhood I'd be more than glad to help. Oh make sure you remove the 
drier and drain as much if the old oil out as you can.
