I knew the AC would be an easy win as long as everything was intact.
As I knew the system was empty, I checked the oil before I fired anything up. It had plenty. None of the fittings were disturbed, so I didn't expect any issues there. I wish I had a manifold gauge set or hoses that fit R12 fittings, as currently I just have an adapter that will fit the suction (low) side. I can work with that, but it's nice to be able to see both sides of the system.
I was considering a Sanden compressor swap, but for now I'll leave well enough alone and run it as it's currently configured. I was going to get the hoses rebuilt or replaced, but for now I'll leave everything alone and see how it does. The minute it stops working I'll tear it down and get everything done I had intended, mainly hose rebuild/replacement.
While I'm in no hurry for warm weather, I'm interested to see how good of a job the FrigiKing does in that greenhouse of a passenger cabin.
