I Need A/c!!
Well I am in the damn sunshine state and gotta have my air conditioning. I had a local AC place fill it up with the R32 or whatever the new stuff is and it worked great for 2 days. I took it back and they said that it has a leak in the evaporator coil. Well I have been told that this is under the dash and a little difficult to get to. Is this true? Where could I get a cheap one? I was also told there were 2 other parts I need, which you have to change everytime you open the AC up. I think one was some valve and the other a "dryer". Any ideas where to get these for the best possible price? Thanks.

See the black box on the right hand side, huge thing?
The Evaporative Coil thing is in the box. You've gotta pull the dash to get it out. Now, pulling the dash isn't that bad, but if you're going to tackle this yourself, set aside the entire weekend to do it.

You don't have to pull the dash to get it out, at least on my '87 TII. I had mine out last summer. It was fairly straight forward to get it out. As for the valves etc....I don't know. The only thing I replaced was the drier. My A/C has been working great for over a year now and I did the conversion to R134 myself.
