A/C work?
 

Where, on a Saturday near Fairfax, can I get my A/C system evacuated? I wanted to delete it next weekend. Thanks.

You’re just looking for ways to spend money! You can do this yourself, simply loosen the fittings at the compressor & catch the “stuff” in a big pan 8)

Ok, but I thought it was really bad to do that. I'm pretty sure it's R134, but still....isn't it bad to get that stuff on your skin or paint?

that's what the pan is for

Dave works next door to the EPA. It's kind'a like staying at the Holiday Inn Express. :lol:

Re: A/C work?
 

At my place :wink: . RL, don't take it to a shop for the A/C delete. I will help you remove that dead weight. I stripped all of my A/C components off of the car with no trouble, like Dave said use the pan.

open lift Saturday :!: don't keep us waiting to see the new "money pit"

I'll swing by the Taj on Sat. morning after I get her registered.

:?

Think of your kids, wearing gas masks outside...

Is it charged with 134A or as was used in 83 R12? R12 is BAD for the enviroment and should be recovered. I do not have recovery/recycle equpment other than a vac pump. Some shops will recover it for free as it is worth $ to them and can be cleaned up and stuffed in someone elses car. It is no longer made in the US and is the #1 $ value smuggled substance from Mexico where is is still made and sold. I think it is going for about $50 a pound. R12 cars produce 20% less cooling on 134A unless you change condenser, evap and compressor. Even then they take more HP to do the same work.

BTW. I have 30 lbs of R12 and no cars containing R12 left. (This is not an illegal offer to install R12 just a comment)
