The AC works in my 92 but I feel like it could be colder, the compressor really seems to drag on the engine, and the clutch likes to click on and off very rapidly. I'm hoping to get all the parts I need together and take it to the shop and have them overhaul the system, check for leaks, and do the conversion so that I can have good, efficient AC that I can recharge myself in the future if needbe. It looks like a Four Seasons brand "AC Kit" for about $200 on Rockauto gets me a new compressor with clutch, new orifice tube, and new accumulator. Any feedback on that brand - I've heard of it, but some good and some bad... Is there anything else I need besides the new fittings/adapters to make r134a hoses work? Also, I read that the condesnor should be changed too (then again those mainly referenced complete compressor failures that spewed metal through the system which is not my situation)... though on Rockauto they list different condensors for stock r12 applications and specific models (that are far more expensive) for r134a retrofit...
Thanks for any input, as I don't really understand AC systems.
