An also i believe are cars ran r12 but i would need to convert it to r134 if im correct

 

Bump 70 views and no one can help out !!!!!

 

I can't help with what you need to get all back into the car for the AC to work but when you do get it back in you could use stuff called hot shot it is a replacement for r12 and will work in that system no problem. I live in az and get my cans from a AC supply shop called job stone supply. The hot shot or r12 works alot better than r134. 134 sucks

 

Sorry AC shop is called johnstone supply

 

Ok so i got a complete ac unit from a private seller parting out a 92 3rd gen camaro got all the ac high side hoses, low pressure steel lines, compressor, evaporator, all switches, and the condensor with ac heater box. Now im wondering if there is r134 conversion kit i domt wanna run r12 since very hard to find and buy these days is there a company out there sells these kits for a decent price im gonna be installing this over the next couple of weeks so i would like to get all the info as possible before i get started on it

 

So do you have AC gauges and a vacuum pump, too?

 

No seems like im gonna need to get that i could always install the whole ac system the. Use the ac machine at work to recharge the system

 

just make shure you clean the old r 12 oil out of the condenser , evaporator and compressor also get a new dryer. and new orings on every connection the r 12 oil when mixed with the 134 oil will eat the orings. I have put several retro fit kits on old r 12 systems and they work if you clean the system. Good luck!

 

Sweet this is exactly what i needed to know can someone show me what the ac dryer is i never even heard of that in the ac also a pic of the evaporator as well

 

The evaporator is the small radiator in the middle that goes in the heater box, the dryer is the silver can upper right. It mounts to the evaporator. It must be replaced any time the system is exposed to air. Keep the new one sealed till your ready to pull vacuum and put in the 134a.

 

Hope these are helpful
