I had to retrofit to r-134 yesterday. I vacuumed system down to 30 inches of mercury helled that for 30 mins. Had to jump the compressor to suck down the can of pag 100 and add 3 cans of "high mileage" r-134. I then added part of a 4th can and the compressor sucked it down on its own.
In all i added ~7 onces of oil and ~42 ounces of r-134.
The readings of my gauges are 48psi low and 185 high.
are these numbers fine? I did everything that was stated off the camaro tech article off 3rd gen. just had to weak it since the straight up 134 round here was not compatible with residual r-12 and lubricant and the caprice has slight bit more capacity
A/C is working alright; drove about 50 miles with it on. Compressor is a little quieter with the retrofit. maybe could install an auxillary fan
anything i should look out for?
