Long time lurker, first time poster.
I have a 1990 c1500 ext cab, 5.7&700r, when I got the truck there was tape on the hoses coming from where the compressor originally was and the compressor was bypassed with a free spinning pulley. I was told that th compressor gave out 5 years ago and he bypassed it and covered the hoses to avoid moisture entering the system. I grabbed a compressor off a buddy's part truck that is supposed to be in good working condition, it's the harrison 3090927 model and doesn't appear to have the connector on the upper rear of the compressor(max ac/recirc?) Can I just ground the connector or leave it disconnected.
On a side note, I found 7 14 ounce cans of original r12 for $100 bucks. Should I fill the system with r12 or retrofit it to r134a? If I do either what needs to be replaced or updated prior to filling a checking for leaks? Thanks for any insight, I live in Texas and definitely wanna start getting it all together before eit gets too hot.
