Specificly - I think there is enough there of my dealer installed a/c
to make it work. It needs to be recharged - so there's no pressure. Is
there a way to make the clutch of the compressor snap on to test it?
(there's no belt on right now)

Also - Will I regret going rf134a? anyone got some r12?

Put 12V to the connection you see hanging off of it, that is the connectoin
for the electro-magnetic clutch.  Be sure to get them the right way around,
I dunno if it would cause damage or not, but...

R134 is highly corrosive, we replaced 250 compressors last year, and 95% of
those were for A4 bodied cars.  Stick with R12, there is no proof that it is
harmful to the environment except Duponts word (when they were about to lose
their patent on it)...  If you are interested, I will find more links to
support my claims...
