Hey guys, sorry I've been so vacant lately. I've got the new head and head gasket on the car, so now all of my drive train issues are fixed. The next hurdle is the AC system, but after dropping it off at a shop I trust, the whole system needs to be replaces ~$2000. I'm trying to find the value in it, can any of you with good functioning AC in your car chime in. I'm curious if you're R12 or retro R134, how well the AC cools the car and what part of the country you're in.

Regards
Deryk

I have ac in my t3 car. 134 will always be better functioning than r12 from what I hear.

I live in Maryland where the summers are 90 and humid.

Last weekend I used it was 85. I will use it all the time when in summer traffic and turn it off when on the highway.
