i've got a 84 ranger that had the old r12 ac refrigerant in it, that leaked out before i got it. as far as i can tell, its been discharged/leaked out for a while. in stuck between getting all new parts for it, including compressor, the condensor, the evaporator core, and both new hose lines. i already got new accumulator and the orifice tube for it. i have no idea if the old compressor works or not, and i dont know if, or where the leak is at in the system. i can get the compressor, condenser, evaporator, and one of the lines for about $320 from rock auto. i dont mind spending the money for it, but id rather not spend it if its not needed. the old parts seem like they are in good shape, but i cant pressure test it as i dont have a vacuum pump, although i probably could get one. i know if you switch from r12 to r134a you gotta use a certain oil so the parts dont react with one another or something like that. also, maybe any ideas that would be an upgrade to the system to make it run better or cooler would be cool as well.
any ideas? thanks!
