r-134a update

[abatzis2 at hotmail.com (Michael Abatzis)]

happier, anyway. we'll see when it gets hot out.  dunno about cabin temps, i 
got cold and turned it down.  my process was completely half-assed. no 
flush, not even a vacuum (no one would do it without doing the whole 
conversion, $200). all i did was buy a new receiver/drier, buy the pep boys 
kit, put on the new fittings, and add oil/refrig. i bought a pressure gauge 
also.  i figured the worst that would happen would be a) not cold and b) 
blow a compressor. since the compressor is cheap enough to find used (and i 
had a spare), i took my chances. no problems so far.
