That's pretty amazing.  Didn't think it could be done.  Kudos to you.  Now try to do it on a more modern vehicle from the 2000s, then I would be utmost speechless.  lol

Your probably right on all of the above but I was tearing it out anyway and I wanted to see if it could be done. If I was to do it again I'd have both vehicles ready for a transplant.
A friend said I could use propane as a refrigerant which is cheap  ;D but explosive  :o >:D. I might try it to top off a system.

An update on this. It seems that propane is used in commercial units for refrigeration and is sold for vehicles too. I didn't read through all the links but I thought I would put it up in case someone else was interested; http://fuelsforum.rasoenterprises.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=580
One of the things I read was that the original oils that lubricate the compressor are not compatible with propane, so the compressor burns up [bad expression ;D], is toast [ nother bad expression :D],?.
Cheers >:?, Richard
